Before the coming of our government, the revenue collected was totally down, but now things have started improving and assured changes will come in this new year.

New modern market will be constructed inside Birnin Kudu immediately we pay compensation to people near old motor park, because we have the plan to establish the new motor park out side the town, while the old motor park land will be used in building the new modern market .
