 Kebbi Govt Donates 10 Hilux Vehicles to Boost Security on Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway  The Kebbi State Government has handed over 10 brand-new Hilux vehicles to the Federal Ministry of Works to strengthen security for personnel working on the Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway project. The vehicles were formally received by the Minister of State for Works, Bello Muhammad Goronyo, who praised Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasiru Idris (Kauran Gwandu), for the donation. Goronyo described the gesture as a clear demonstration of the state government’s commitment to protecting workers and contractors on the strategic highway corridor. He explained that the vehicles will be deployed exclusively to security operatives providing cover for construction teams along the section of the super highway passing through Kebbi State.

               According to PM News,who reported that ahead of the Affordable Housing Summit which opens tomorrow monday in Abuja,the Minister of Power,Works and Housing,Mr Babatunde Fashola SAN,has given an insight into how the Federal Government plans to achieve a sustainable housing programme for the country saying it is only through standardization of designs,even while taking into cognizance the cultural preferences of the nation's geopolitical zones,that industrialization and mass housing can be possible.Fashola,who met with National Assembly Committees on Housing to present the Implementation Plan of the 2016 Budget as it concerns the National Housing Programme during the week,said although there could be the desire out there that government should rush out and do what everybody has done in the past,and probably end up with the same old results,the forcus of the present administration was more on a sustainable housing plan.The Minister,who cited two housing models,Singapore Housing Development Programme and the United Kindom Housing Scheme,to explain the need for sustainability,said while the UK model started in 1918 and the Singaporean model in 1960,one common factor in those countries was a ''a near uniformity of design'',when one looked outside,adding,''In whatever community that they build,as designs vary,they remain the same within one community''.Citing Lagos State as an example of where Housing was given higher allocation,the Ministers said ''Yes there is a temptation to implement a 2016 Budget but,truth be told,how much is the 2016 Budget? A little over N30 billion; it is not going to solve our housing problem.The Budget for Housing for My state in 2015 was in excess of N40 billion and it hasn't solved all the problems in that state.So it is not just about implementing a budget,when we get to full scale,clearly we will not be talking of N35 billion,we will be talking of hundreds of billions and trillions to keep the value chain going because it is an extensive value chain''.
