The Governor was speaking on the backdrop of poor waste management, the challenge it poses and the need for a sustainable solution to refuse for Kano city.
Ganduje said the state has been deliberating on a Mega-City development project but the challenge of waste management has hampered the dream of achieving it.
According to Daily Post report, the Governor said the effect of poor waste management was all over Kano, leading to devastating health conditions such as cancer and similar health complications, costing the government huge sums of money.
