Governor Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State has directed for the early completion of 1,000 houses worth more than N3.6 billion being built by the state government for flood victims in Goronyo, Gada and Silame local governments.
“These houses should be completed on time to enable the beneficiaries who were the victims of last year’s flood disaster to move into them.
“This should be done before the current rainy season picks tempo so as not to defeat the objective of the project,’’ Wamakko added.
Reports say that the governor spoke on May 26 when he paid an unscheduled visit to the project site in Goronyo where three hundred of the houses were being built.
Wamakko threatened to review the Goronyo contract if the tempo of the execution of the project did not increase in the next one month.
A statement signed by Alhaji Abubakar Dangusau, the Special Assistant to Wamakko on Press Affairs, said in Sokoto Wamakko vowed to review the contract to involve other contractors if the deadline was not met.
The secretary to the state government, who is overseeing the construction of the 1000 houses, told Wamakko that efforts were being intensified to complete them on schedule.
Reports also say that all the three sites of the projects would have clinics, boreholes, schools, cemeteries and mosques, among other social infrastructure.
Goronyo Local Government will benefit with 400 of the houses while Silame and Gada will have 300 each.
