Gombe Remains Committed to Provision of Shelter to Citizens, Says Gov

He told the gathering that the provision of houses to the people of the state will continue to preoccupy the policy thrust of his administration and therefore thanked the federal government for choosing Gombe as the pilot state for the flag-off of the Cooperative Housing Development Scheme. The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, who was also present at the commissioning, said the federal government is committed to providing housing for Nigerians irrespective of their socio-economic or political background.
The minister said that the idea is for people to acquire their own lands, organise themselves into registered cooperatives and get titles of the land from the state government.
