The Kebbi State Government says the construction of 250 housing units under the Kauran Gwandu Housing Project has reached 80 per cent completion.
Governor Nasir Idris disclosed this on Tuesday while inspecting the project site on the outskirts of Birnin Kebbi.
The governor expressed satisfaction with the progress of work and commended the contractor for adhering to the approved specifications.
Idris, however, warned contractors handling government projects across the state against compromising standards.
“I am happy about the performance of the contractor, but let me sound a word of warning that Kebbi State Government will not condone shoddy job from any contractor engaged in project execution.”
Kebbi targets timely completion
The governor expressed confidence that the 250 housing units would be completed within the stipulated timeframe, paving the way for their allocation to prospective occupants.
He said the project was part of his administration’s efforts to provide decent and affordable accommodation for residents of the state.
Kebbi buys Federal Government housing units
Idris also disclosed that his administration had purchased the Federal Government’s housing units in Birnin Kebbi.
According to him, payment for the estate had been completed and the necessary documents acquired by the state government.
He said the government would soon award a contract for the completion of the estate.
“Very soon, the state government will award the contract for completion of the estate in furtherance of action by my administration to provide requisite and decent accommodation to our people.”
The governor urged contractors working on government projects to maintain quality standards and ensure timely delivery.
