The mass housing project, which spanned 31.070 Hectares of land, at Milgoma Community, in Bodinga LGA opposite the runway of the Sultan Abubakar III International Airport Sokoto will contain 550 units of befitting accommodation to ameliorate the housing challenge being faced by officers and men of the Sokoto State Command.

“What we are witnessing today is in furtherance of my vision to prioritize the welfare of officers and men of the Corps.

“It also forms part of my vision to address the housing deficit in the Corps by making house ownership more accessible and affordable to personnel of the Corps with an easy and convenient payment plan.

“The Corps’ leadership and administration under my watch have put in place integrated development plans/programs towards addressing the housing needs of staff across the board.

“Let me, therefore, assure you that this is a phased project which will be replicated in all State Commands and the Federal Capital Territory in our deliberate attempt to further enhance productivity and operational efficiency.

“In an attempt to bring this vision to fruition, the Corps has engaged Messrs. Turnkey Projects Limited, a reputable developer and project consultant for the construction of 550 Housing Units to ameliorate the housing challenge being faced by officers and men of the Sokoto State Command,” the CG explained.

He expressed optimism that when completed, the project will be an additional boost to the morale of staff to deliver on the Corps’ mandate.
