Yobe State Constructs 100 Housing Units for Returnees

Yobe State is accelerating the resettlement of returnees by initiating the construction of 100 housing units on a 14-acre land in Damaturu. This initiative was unveiled by Dr. Moham Goje during a high-level meeting with a delegation from the European Union, led by Mr. Massimo De Luca.

The project is set to be completed within a strict nine-month deadline. The state government aims to implement a resolution action plan that prioritizes the needs of persons with disabilities, returnees, and host communities, providing holistic support that includes shelter, skills training, and social unity.

Mr. De Luca emphasized that the European Union's approach in Yobe represents a paradigm shift from mere humanitarian aid to sustainable solutions, introducing a flagship global gateway strategy that focuses on long-term funding and public-private partnerships. The immediate collaborative actions include the Lasawama project, which will focus on water sector management to support displaced persons and urban integration.
