The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has ordered the demolition of the symbolic “Tumbin Giwa” roundabout along State Road by Government House.
Daily Trust reported that the roundabout was demolished in the early hours of Wednesday in continuation of the demolition exercise of “illegal” structures the government said were tampering with the state’s masterplan.
The architectural design of the popular roundabout, which was constructed by the immediate past Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, in 2017, has become a symbol of Kano state in the media and entertainment industry in the last few years.
It was gathered that the demolition of the remodelled roundabout, which costs N160 million, was carried out under tight security supervision.
