The Adamawa State Government has approved the sale of 1,000 housing units at the State Housing Estate, Malkohi in the Yola South local government area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The estate, which had been stalled for years due to inflation and economic challenges, is now being completed under the administration of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking during a press briefing, the Commissioner of Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Adamu Pirambe who doubled as the chairman of the housing estate committee described the development as a significant milestone in addressing the housing needs of civil servants in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that Governor Fintiri graciously approved the sale and allocation of some of the houses to civil servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The commissioner further disclosed that the approved prices for the housing units are \u20a69 million,706 thousand,195 naira.47 kobo for two-bedroom flats and \u20a611 million,708 thousand,194 naira .59 kobo for three-bedroom flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, the committee worked diligently to ensure that the allocation process remains transparent and fair, adding that offer letters would soon be distributed to beneficiaries as directed by the governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also highlighted that the original master plan of the estate is being implemented, with new facilities currently under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These include perimeter fencing of the estate for enhanced security, the development of drainage systems, and the establishment of security outposts and barracks to safeguard residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prambe expressed profound gratitude to Governor Fintiri on behalf of the people of Adamawa State for his commitment to infrastructural development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasised that the project, which had been on hold for years, is finally coming to fruition under the present administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Managing Director, Adamawa State Mortgage Bank, Dauda Mohammed Galadima, has disclosed that part of the payment modalities includes seeking funding support from the Family Homes Fund and the Federal Mortgage Bank to ease access for workers, an arrangement he said will enable workers to domicile their salaries with the bank and make monthly payments, while also giving room for those with additional income sources to make upfront payments if they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also speaking, Chairman of the Joint Committee, Nyalas Batholomew who expressed appreciation to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri on behalf of organised labour, emphasised that affordability analysis was a critical factor in the allocation process as he assured that any worker who can afford the scheme will be allowed to purchase a house under the arrangement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
