Adamawa State Launches 100 Housing Units for IDPs

On Wednesday, the Adamawa state government initiated the construction of 100 housing units for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Malkohi, located in the Yola South Local Government Area. The groundbreaking ceremony was led by Hon. Bello Hamman Diram, the commissioner for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Reintegration and Humanitarian Services.

Diram stated that the administration of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri is dedicated to addressing the housing needs of citizens. The housing project is designed to include essential social amenities such as schools, healthcare facilities, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, ensuring a safe living environment for beneficiaries.

Diram urged the community to support government initiatives that directly impact the populace. Modibbo Bakari, a resident affected by the displacement, expressed gratitude for the intervention, emphasizing that the completion of these units would significantly reduce the financial burden of high rents imposed by landlords on low-income earners and displaced individuals.
