The Team Lead, Assistant Chief Superintendent, Dickson Domfa-Napcwat, said the projects spanned various sectors, including health, education, agriculture, electrification and special intervention.
Domfa-Napcwat listed the projects to include the supply and installation of medical equipment for the dental department, and the supply and installation of medical equipment for the radiology and cardiac centre.
He said others include the provision of school writing materials to selected schools, the construction and installation of solar streetlights, and the rehabilitation of a burnt hostel with the supply of beds.
According to him, other projects comprised the completion and furnishing of a rehabilitated hostel, the purchase and supply of quality seeds for farmers, and cash grants to health entrepreneurs and agri-preneurs of medical and health associations.
He disclosed that the projects inspected were sited in Illela/Gwadabawa Federal Constituency, Bodinga/Dange-Shuni/Tureta Federal Constituency, Wurno/Rabah Federal Constituency, Sokoto North/South Federal Constituency, Kware/Wamakko Federal Constituency and Sabon Birni LGA.
He added that the 14 projects were awarded under the Federal Government’s 2023 intervention programmes and were expected to have been fully executed.
“These projects were awarded at an approximate cost of N431.8 million and are expected to be fully executed.
“We are to monitor and assess project performance, value of work done, contractor identification, payment details, and project status,” he said.
