Zamfara State Governor His Excellency, Dr Dauda Lawal has flagged off the Yandonton Daji–Cediya–Doka–Yan Waren Daji–Hayin Alhaji Bedi–Unguwar Joji–Yan Kuzo–Tsafe Road, comprising a 94-kilometre road in Tsafe LGA. At the official flag-off by His Excellency Dr Dauda Lawal in Tsafe Town on Sunday, the 4th of October, 2026, the Governor disclosed that the road will ease connectivity and affect the local economy for farmers. The road is to be constructed by Sky Construction Company and Setraco Construction Company Limited.

The Commissioner for Works, Hon. Lawal Barau Bungundu, disclosed that the administration’s commitment to infrastructural renewal is part of its mission to rebuild the state and to ensure that it aligns with the mission of ensuring Zamfara State receives the dividends of democracy in the area of road connectivity.

“The construction of this road in Tsafe LGA will ensure the commuting of farm produce, as it connects many farmlands, and it will affect the economic activities of the state. The road will ensure the smooth transportation of farm produce and also develop agricultural output. This will work in line with our administration’s investment in critical infrastructure to enhance the productivity of our people.”

During his remarks, Governor Dauda Lawal said his administration is committed to ensuring the state receives a total overhaul in infrastructural development and that the investment in this road will underscore the administration’s seriousness in ensuring that farmlands are connected to the expressway and that farmers can move their produce from their farms to the market.

Governor Dauda said his government is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the people of Zamfara. That is why his administration has prioritised this road project as one of the key interventions to restore peace and stability in Zamfara State. “The reconstruction of this road will not only facilitate the movement of goods and services, but also enhance the mobility and operational capacity of our security agencies. With a better road network, we can improve our surveillance and intelligence gathering, as well as respond more effectively to any threats or attacks.” He said.

“He further disclosed that; The reconstruction of the 95km Yandoton Daji–Cediya–Doka–Yan Waren Daji–Hayin Alhaji Bedi–Unguwar Joji–Yan Kuzo–Tsafe Road with five bridges is a crucial step towards addressing the pressing security challenges that have affected the communities connected by these roads. “These communities, which lie within highly agricultural areas, play a pivotal role in our state’s economy. However, insecurity has created significant obstacles, hindering their ability to thrive and contribute fully to our collective prosperity.”

“This road forms part of a broader infrastructure renewal programme across Zamfara State. From the Gusau–Magami–Dansadau Road to the Zurmi–Rukudawa Road, the Mallamawa–Bukkuyum Road with a spur to Masamar Mudi, and other strategic corridors, our administration is steadily opening up communities, reconnecting economic centres and addressing infrastructure deficits accumulated over many years.”

“Our administration is big on ensuring that farmers get their produce to the end users. When the road connecting the farm is good, it reduces stress and also ensures more mechanised farming, because the heavy-duty equipment we have procured can easily reach the farm. Also, when the harvest is done, the farm produce can move smoothly to the markets and all. This will ease the lives of our people, who are predominantly farmers, and it will also connect them to the ease of doing business.”

Governor Lawal further disclosed that the state will be constructing more inner roads in other LGAs, as it will work round the clock to deliver the dividends of democracy to the good people of Zamfara State. He said the road is due to be constructed and delivered within twelve month for commissioning.
