Kebbi’s 250-Home Estate Reaches 80% Completion

Construction of the 250-unit Kauran Gwandu Housing Estate in Kebbi State has reached approximately 80 per cent completion, according to Governor Nasir Idris.

The governor disclosed the project’s progress during an inspection of the development, where he expressed satisfaction with the quality of work and the pace of construction.

Idris commended the contractor for complying with the approved building specifications and maintaining the required construction standards.

He directed other companies handling government projects across the state to demonstrate a similar commitment to quality and responsible project delivery.

The governor warned that his administration would not accept poorly executed or substandard projects, stressing that contractors must ensure that Kebbi residents receive value for public funds.

He expressed confidence that the estate would be delivered within the stipulated period.

The development forms part of the Kebbi State Government’s efforts to improve access to decent and affordable accommodation for workers and other residents.

Idris said the government would consider awarding additional housing projects to the contractor if the current estate was completed successfully and in accordance with its approved specifications.

The proposed housing expansion would target state and local government employees, teachers, federal workers, media professionals and other categories of residents requiring suitable accommodation.

According to the governor, the objective is to give workers across different sectors a stronger sense of inclusion while improving their welfare and living conditions.

He also announced that the Kebbi State Government had acquired a housing estate previously owned by the Federal Government.

Idris said payment for the property had been completed and the necessary ownership documents secured.

Arrangements are now being made to award contracts for the completion of the outstanding units within the acquired estate under a federal mortgage arrangement.

The additional development is expected to complement the 250-unit Kauran Gwandu Housing Estate and increase the supply of formal housing in the state.

The governor reiterated that his administration would continue to implement projects capable of producing measurable benefits for residents.

For the housing programme to deliver its intended social impact, stakeholders will expect the government to provide clear information about the completion date, allocation criteria, selling prices and financing options available to prospective beneficiaries.

Transparent allocation and affordable repayment terms will be essential to ensuring that the completed homes reach the workers and households for whom they are intended.

Former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has inaugurated the Federal Housing Estate road network constructed by the Adamawa State government under Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri’s administration.

The project, located within the Federal Housing Estate in Girei local government area, includes reinforced concrete drains, culverts, and a 3.5-kilometre stormwater drainage system, designed to improve access, mobility, and flood control within the estate and its surrounding communities.

During the commissioning ceremony, Saraki commended Governor Fintiri for consistent and people-oriented infrastructural development across Adamawa State. He described the governor as a leader of integrity, committed to the welfare and development of his people. Saraki urged residents to continue supporting the administration to enable it to deliver more dividends of democracy.

Governor Fintiri, in his address, said the commissioning went beyond a formal handover, representing a deliberate approach to governance anchored on results, accountability, and service to the people. He noted that the road network would shorten travel times, boost economic activity, and strengthen social and commercial connections within the estate and adjoining communities.

The governor recalled that the project was flagged off in May 2024 as part of the state government’s commitment to addressing long-standing access and mobility challenges in the area. He reiterated that all awarded projects would be completed and that abandoned works would be avoided, emphasizing that infrastructure development remains central to Adamawa State’s future.

Fintiri assured residents that ongoing and future projects across the state would be executed with diligence, integrity, and responsibility, with no community neglected in the development process.

Earlier, the Commissioner for Works and Energy, Alhaji Adamu Atiku Abubakar, described the road network as a vital internal link for residents, traders, commuters, and service providers within the Federal Housing Estate and its environs. He added that the project has significantly reduced travel time, improved road safety, enhanced property values, and created employment opportunities during construction.

Abubakar commended the contractors for completing the project ahead of schedule and appealed to residents to take ownership of the road by protecting the drainage infrastructure.

The Federal Housing Estate road network project is expected to further stimulate economic activities and improve living standards within Girei local government and surrounding communities. Residents expressed optimism that the project would serve as a benchmark for future infrastructural developments in Adamawa State.
