Kebbi State government has awarded contract for the completion of the state’s ultramodern secretariat at the cost of N10billion.
The state governor, Nasir Idris awarded the contract to two companies. While signing the contract agreement at the Council Chamber of Government House in Birnin Kebbi shortly after the emergency State Executive Council meeting, he said the contract was to streamline the civil service.
He described the project as part of his commitment towards providing conducive working environment for the workers, while charging the contractors to adhere to the 18 months contractual agreement for the delivery of the project. Giving the history of the project, the Kebbi State head of service, Safiyanu Garba-Bena recalled that the project was initially awarded to Rockwell Nigeria Limited at the cost of N3.8 billion in 2021 by the Saidu Usman Dakingari administration.
He said the project which was later reviewed to N7.7 billion in Nov. 2014 due to fluctuation in prices of goods had reached 50 per cent completion by Dec. 2015 but was later abandoned.
