<p>The figures were contained in an international press briefing, by Comrade Nura Maaji Sumaila, Commissioner for Public Procurement, Projects Monitoring and Evaluation. The briefing provided an update on project implementation, geographical distribution, procurement compliance and financial performance under the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.</p>
<p>According to the ministry&#8217;s project database, the cumulative contract value stands at â¦996.29 billion, while â¦695.20 billion has received No Objection Certificate (NOC) approval and â¦444.75 billion represents payment certificates vetted by the ministry.</p>
<p>Of the 1,557 projects classified by the ministry, 867 projects, representing 55.68 per cent, have been completed. Another 654 projects, or 42 per cent, are ongoing, while 26 projects are at the award stage and 10 are planned and ready for award.</p><div class="3DlFKlbK" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The ministry said some high-value projects are still awaiting the establishment of relevant due-process procedures.

<p>According to Maaji the geographical spread of the projects, stressing that government investment is not concentrated in Kano metropolis.</p>
<p>For its analysis, the ministry classified projects into single-LGA, cross-cutting and statewide/other interventions to avoid double-counting projects that serve several local government areas.</p>
<p>The eight metropolitan LGAs account for 598 projects valued at â¦299.36 billion, representing 30.01 per cent of the total contract value. The 36 rural LGAs account for 653 projects valued at â¦287.90 billion, or 28.90 per cent. Cross-cutting projects account for â¦159.50 billion, while statewide and other interventions represent â¦249.54 billion.</p>

<p>The government said the figures demonstrate substantial investment beyond the state capital, covering rural roads, healthcare facilities, schools, housing, feeder roads and other infrastructure.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>According to the commissioner Cross-cutting projects account for approximately â¦159.50 billion, or 16.01 per cent of the cumulative contract value. The projects include solar-powered street lighting, wireless solar traffic lights, traffic-management systems, major road expansions, pedestrian bridges, metropolitan road corridors and inter-LGA roads and bridges.</p>
<p>Among the projects identified are the Dakata–Yadakunya Road, Airport Gate–Triumph–Murtala Muhammad corridor, Katsina Road expansion, Airport Junction–Ashton/Club Road corridor, Kura–Kubarachi–Madobi road and bridges, and the Janguza–Durum–Kabo–Karaye road.</p>
<p>The ministry said such projects should not be assessed solely according to the local government in which they are located because their benefits extend across administrative boundaries.</p>
<p>The briefing identified several high-value investments contributing significantly to the state&#8217;s overall project portfolio.</p>
<p>These include the approximately â¦113.19 billion mass-housing scheme at Rijiyar Gwangwan in Dawakin Kudu, the â¦24.77 billion Katsina Road expansion covering Fagge and Dala, and about â¦21.90 billion for the Modern Cities infrastructure programme across Dawakin Kudu, Dawakin Tofa and Kumbotso.</p>
<p>The ministry also identified approximately â¦27.74 billion for the Madobi–Yako–Kafin Maiyaki/Kiru Road intervention and about â¦22 billion for prototype mass-housing units under the Rural Model City Project covering all 36 rural LGAs.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Beyond project delivery, the ministry said its mandate includes ensuring that public procurement and implementation are subject to appropriate review, monitoring and financial controls.</p>
<p>The â¦996.294 billion cumulative contract sum represents 100 per cent of the portfolio. Of this amount, â¦695.196 billion, or 69.78 per cent, has received NOC approval, while â¦444.747 billion, equivalent to 44.64 per cent of the contract value, represents vetted payments. Vetted payments amount to approximately 63.97 per cent of the NOC-approved figure.</p>
<p>The ministry said the figures reflect the fact that the portfolio includes completed, ongoing, recently awarded and planned projects, making continued monitoring, certification, cash-flow planning and prioritisation necessary.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The government said it would continue monitoring ongoing projects, addressing implementation bottlenecks, strengthening certification processes and ensuring that public resources are deployed responsibly and with value for money.</p>
<p>It also reaffirmed commitments to transparency in procurement, monitoring projects from procurement through completion, linking payment certification to verified implementation, and providing objective information to citizens, development partners and the international community.</p>
<p>Nura Iro Maaji said the project portfolio demonstrates interventions across all 44 local government areas, covering urban and rural infrastructure, mass housing, roads, bridges, healthcare, education, climate-resilient infrastructure and traffic management.</p>
