Bauchi Govt Releases N206 Million as Compensation for the Construction of 2500 Housing Scheme


 
Bauchi state government has released the sum of 206 million naira as compensation to those affected by the construction of the 2500 housing scheme in the state.
 
The State Commissioner for Housing and Environment, Honorable Hamisu Muazu Shira announced this while briefing Government House Correspondents shortly after the inauguration of the compensation Committee.
 
The Commissioner said the timely release of the funds for the payment of compensation is part of the desire of Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed to ensure compensation is duly paid before commencement of any project.
 
According to him, the state government used its rate to come up with the 206 million naira as real compensation to be paid to affected individuals.
Honorable Hamisu Shira explained that, the 205 million naira is for the payment of compensation to the affected beneficiaries in the construction of the houses in Bauchi, Ningi, Katagum and Jama’are emirates while that of Misau and Dass government lands will be used.
 
" Today we inaugurated our committee for the payment of compensation to the beneficiaries of the lands we selected to construct our mass housing programme across the 6 emirates of the state, it is usual whenever government decided to construct such structures, the payment of compensation became an issue.
 
"Hitherto in the past, government will take over people's farms and leave them suffering due to non payment of compensation, but His Excellency, Senator Abdulkadir Mohammed, Kauran Bauchi said this time around it will be a different, his administration is for the people and by that, eventhough we have mobilized the contractors, the Governor insisted that before we start anything on site, we must make sure compensation is duly paid to the affected citizens."
 
To this end, the Housing and Environment Comissioner directed the contractors handing the housing project within 48 hours to commence work by resuming to site as the issue of payment of compensation cannot affect their work.
 
Commenting on the development, the District Head of Miri whose Housing project for Bauchi is to be constructed under his domain, Malam Husaini Abubakar Othman applauded Governor Bala Mohammed for coming up with the initiative describing it as a landmark achievement.
 
Malam Husaini Abubakar Othman who is a member of the committee for the payment of compensation called on his subjects within the construction area to cooperate and support the state government for the smooth realization of the project.
