Bauchi State Government has said it has budgeted over N6.1 billion to reconstruct Government House.
Hamisu Muazu Shira, the commissioner for environment and housing, briefing journalists on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at the end of the weekly Executive Council meeting, said the Government House built during the creation of the state in 1976 would be renovated.
He said the current structure is an embarrassment, adding: “If you check some states that were created the same time with Bauchi State, you will see that almost all of them have reconstructed government houses.
“This structure was built by the military government. We have presented a memo during the Executive Council meeting before the governor and N6.1 billion will be spent to reconstruct the Government House.
“Also, we are going to reconstruct Bauchi Government Lodge in Abuja where the governor, his deputy, speaker, chief judge, secretary to the state government, and journalists can make use of anytime they are in Abuja. The governor’s office around the ECOWAS headquarters will be remodelled too. This will cost the government N3.1million.”
