KATSINA LOST ₦600 BILLION!

How Our ₦250 Billion Roads Made Lagos Richer… And Katsina Poorer
Must Read Before You Clap For Any New Road Project

Brothers and Sisters of Katsina,
We all love good roads. No one is saying “don’t build roads”. But let’s ask one hard question:

If Katsina Govt spent ₦250 BILLION on roads in 3 years, why are our youth still jobless? Why are cement shops in Kofar Kaura closing? Why is money not circulating in our market?

The answer will pain you. Because the money for those roads left Katsina before the first truck of sand arrived.

1. THE ₦250 BILLION ROAD STORY
From 2023 till now, Katsina Govt awarded roads worth over ₦250 billion. 160km+ of urban + rural roads. Eastern Bypass, Daura Bypass, Funtua roads, Musawa road, etc.
We clapped. We took pictures.

But 90% of that money never touched Katsina economy. How?

2. WHERE YOUR ₦250 BILLION WENT - THE 4 LEAKAGES
Imagine ₦1 billion contract to big multinational contractor:

1. ₦500 MILLION for Cement, Iron Rods, Diesel
What they do: Buy direct from Dangote Lagos, BUA Sokoto, Port Harcourt.
What Katsina loses_: Our Kofar Kaura cement dealers, rod sellers, local truck drivers get ZERO. ₦500m flies to Lagos/Port Harcourt.
For ₦250bn roads = ₦100 BILLION lost_

2. *₦180 MILLION for Labour/Masons/Drivers
What they do: Bring workers from Kano, Kaduna, Lagos. Hire 20 Katsina boys only to offload cement.
What Katsina loses_: 500 Katsina youths lose 2 years of salary. ₦180m wages leave the state.
For ₦250bn roads = ₦31.5 BILLION lost_

3. ₦120 MILLION for Drainage, Kerbs, Culverts
_What they do_: Contractor’s own crew does everything. No local sub-contract.
What Katsina loses: 100 small Katsina contractors who cast kerbs, build drains get nothing. ₦120m lost.
For ₦250bn roads = ₦27 BILLION lost_

4. ₦200 MILLION Profit + Equipment Hire
What they do: Profit goes to company HQ in Lagos/Abuja. Equipment rented from Lagos.
What Katsina loses_: ₦200m leaves immediately.
For ₦250bn roads = ₦50 BILLION lost

TOTAL MONEY THAT MISSED KATSINA MARKET: ₦208 BILLION OUT OF ₦250 BILLION

3. THE ₦600 BILLION DAMAGE YOU DON’T SEE
Economy works like this: ₦1,000 you spend at Alhaji’s cement shop becomes ₦3,000. Because Alhaji pays his boy → boy buys suya → suya man buys cow → cow seller buys grass.

This is called “multiplier effect”.

But when ₦100bn is spent at Dangote Lagos depot, multiplier for Katsina = ZERO.
If that ₦100bn was spent in Katsina, our economy would gain *₦300bn - ₦600bn* in 3 years. Shops would open. Boys would get jobs. Govt would collect more tax.

So Katsina didn’t just lose ₦208bn. We lost ₦600 BILLION in total business, jobs, and opportunities.

4. THE PAIN IS REAL - CHECK YOURSELF
1. Go to road project site today. Count how many Katsina indigenes are operating machines. Less than 10%.
2. Ask cement dealers at Central Market. Sales dropped since big projects started.
3. Ask “Kulle-Kulle” block makers. No contract from road projects.
4. Youths who should earn ₦3,000/day are still doing “okada” because contractor brought his own boys.

We built roads, yes. But we killed our own economy to build them.

5. THE SOLUTION IS NOT “STOP ROADS”. THE SOLUTION IS “LOCAL CONTENT LAW”
Other states are doing it. Kaduna, Lagos, Ebonyi. Katsina must copy:

1. 40% Rule: Contractor MUST buy 40% of cement, sand, granite from Katsina dealers within 100km.
2. 60% Jobs for Indigenes: All unskilled + 50% skilled labour must be Katsina people. Contractor must train them.
3. Small Contracts for Locals: Drainage, kerbs, road marking, streetlight wiring must go to 100 small Katsina companies, not contractor’s crew.
4. Partner with Katsina Firms: Every big contractor must do JV with 2 local construction companies.

If we did this, ₦250bn roads would create 20,000 jobs and ₦120bn business for Katsina people.

[Omoyele Sowore @sowore]

Let me state clearly that I do not trust the @policeng Nigeria Police Force’s @TunjiDisu1’s IGP Monitoring Unit to investigate the disappearance and presumed killing of Dadiyata.

They cannot be trusted to impartially investigate high-profile politicians and powerful interests who may be connected to this case.

Let there be a judicial commission of inquiry!

They must invite Nasir @elrufai and Kano State former Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje then DSS DG, Yusuf Bichi and then iGP, and possibly former AGF Abubakar Malami, SAN they were ALL involved

Mallam Nasir El-Rufai once told Nigerians that Dadiyata was abducted by men of the Nigerian Police Force, and that a police officer allegedly confessed to it.

That is contrary to what many people believe that he was kidnapped.

Now, Musa Kamarawa says he was present when a police officer allegedly killed Dadiyata, and that he witnessed it with his own eyes.

People like Femi Fani-Kayode and Reno Omokri have spent years pushing accusations in one direction, they made the innocent a talking point to politically criticize and frame an innocent man.

The good people of Nigeria deserve answers. At this point.

What happened to Dadiyata?
