Kano State government has reversed its decision to demolish the Jubilee roundabout in front of the government house, announcing plans to relocate the iconic design on the demolished roundabout to a more secure location at the Naibawa flyover on the outskirts of the city.
The Governors spokesperson, Hisham Habib, revealed this in a statement made available to Kano pressmen yesterday.
Many indigenes of the State have condemned the demolition of the roundabout after demolishing the historical jubilee designed by a Kano young lady.
However, the State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, who met with the designer of the Golden Jubilee edifice, Kaltume Hana, at the new site for the structures erection, expressed the governments commitment to infrastructure development.
According to Yusuf, the newly proposed location is suitable for the job and will not pose any difficulties after a thorough survey, and he assured citizens of future projects.
The structure, which resembled a traditional gate with a trumpet on top, was demolished after it was determined to be unsuitable for the location, on the grounds that a better replacement will be installed.
Many critics of the State government however, view Governor Yusufs decision to rebuild the demolished jubilee roundabout as a tactical move to quell the backlash directed at the state governor.
