Local GovernmentNewsFintiri Commission Rehabilitated Song LGA Destroyed By Insurgents

The Federal Government’s Multi-Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project, being funded by the World Bank has rehabilitated and furnished Song local government secretariat destroyed by Boko Haram insurgents some years back.

Speaking at the handing of the structure in Song town Friday, Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, commended the Federal Government and World Bank over some intervention projects in the state.

Fintiri recalled that numerous public buildings that included schools, hospitals, police and correctional centres, were destroyed and rendered dysfunctional by the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists.

He noted that the insurgency had significantly diminished public administration capacities, as well as caused loss of personnel, among others.

“The rehabilitation and restoration of local government offices is a key physical precondition to strengthening recovery efforts.

“These public buildings generally serve the purpose of providing key municipal services to residents and conducive work environment for local government staff.

In his remark, Dr. Maurice Vunobolki, the State Coordinator of the Multi-Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project, said the rehabilitation and supply of furniture for the Song LGA secretariat, were delivered based on the project’s standard.

“The scope of the rehabilitation include demolitions and alterations, roofing, wood and electrical works, Painting and Mechanical works.

“While, the supplies include executive chairs and tables, 20-seater conference table’ chairs, file cabinets and window blinds among others”, he said.

According to him, the rehabilitation has no doubt added significant value to the secretariat which now wears a new look.
