Katsina State Government said it would soon commence construction of 250 housing units in the state metropolis worth about N2.8 billion.

The General Manager, Katsina State Housing Authority, Surajo Aminu, told journalists after yesterday's State Executive Council meeting that the amount covered amenities like electricity, water, and school.

Aminu said the houses would consist of 150 threebedrooms and 100 two-bedroom flats and would be located at Dabukawa village, a few kilometres outside the heart of the state capital.

He said to ensure proper building plan and quality building work, a meeting was held with contractors that handled previous construction works of housing units in the state.

The GM said the 250 housing units, unlike previous ones, would have bigger rooms, located on larger plots of land for fencing and expansion purposes, with quality road network.

Aminu, however said the date for commencement of construction work as well as the contractor would be disclosed after final agreement had been reached.
