“The state government has done a good job by constructing quality and affordable houses in Bauchi, Ningi, Missu, Dass, Katagum and Jamaare emirates.
“You can see the houses and the quality; we are really impressed with the strong partnership.
“Bauchi is among the states that have provided the best houses which are 90 per cent completed,” he said, saying the houses would soon be occupied by the citizens.
The chairman commended President Mohammadu Buhari’s vision of ensuring that low-income Nigerians have access to decent and affordable homes.
He also commended the state governor, Bala Mohammed, for providing an enabling environment and the quality houses for the people.
