Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal flagged off the construction of a 95‑kilometre road in Tsafe Local Government Area, a move aimed at improving security and stimulating economic activity in the region.
The new road will link Tsafe to neighbouring communities, providing a safer and more reliable route for the movement of people and goods. Governor Lawal said the project is intended to support local farmers and traders by easing access to markets and reducing travel times.
The initiative is part of the state’s broader development agenda, which seeks to upgrade infrastructure across Zamfara and enhance the livelihoods of its residents. By improving road connectivity, the government hopes to curb insecurity that has hampered economic growth in the area.
Tsafe LGA lies in the north‑western part of Zamfara State, an area that has historically faced challenges related to poor road networks and limited access to basic services. The new road is expected to bring the community closer to the state capital and other key commercial centres.
Construction of the 95‑kilometre stretch is expected to create jobs and boost local commerce, while also providing a more secure corridor for residents and businesses alike.
