The Kano State Government led by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has ordered the demolition of the symbolic “Tumbin Giwa” roundabout along State Road by Government House.

The architectural design of the popular roundabout has become a symbol of Kano state in the media and entertainment industry in the last few years.

It is one of projects of the immediate past Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
