From Muhammad Kabir, Kano
The Kano State Government, has described as misleading and calculated attempts to caused tension, stories that they have unveiled a 480 Housing Units in the City.
The Government refutes the report published by an online news medium, titled, “Kano Govt Unveils 480-Unit Gida-Gida Mega City”.
Reacting to the report, the State Commissioner for Housing Development, Arc. Ibrahim Yakubu Adamu, FNIA, described the headline as misleading.
He explained that what transpired during the project inspection tour by the Nigerian Guild of Editors, journalists, and social media influencers was a presentation of the design and an inspection of the proposed project site.
Accordingly, the delegation was taken around the layout for site inspection. The Commissioner briefed them on the execution plan for the project, noting that over ₦113 million has been approved for it, which includes infrastructure such as schools, a perimeter fence, mosque, market, fire station, police station, cemetery, and recreation centre.
He pointed out that arrangements are in top gear for His Excellency, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, to perform the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the 480 housing units at a later date.
The Commissioner therefore, enjoined media personnel to always cross check their facts before going to press in order to avoid any ambiguity that could mislead the general public.
