The state’s Commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports and Culture, Alhaji Sagir Musa, made the disclosure in a statement in Dutse.
Mr Musa said that the houses would comprise three-bedroom standalone and two-bedroom semi-detached flats in different parts of the state.

He added that the N5.9 billion had already been released for the project. The commissioner added that 600 units of the houses would be constructed in Dutse, while 200 units would be constructed in Hadejia and 100 units constructed in Kazaure, Gumel, Ringim and Birnin-Kudu Local Government Areas of the state.
