He said his administration has taken note of the change in market values for land and other assets, hence adopted a  compensation that is decent enough to ensure easy relocation of the affected persons, expressing the hope that the beneficiaries will make good use of this opportunity.

“Our administration has so far paid the sum of N 892,740,114 as a government counterpart contribution in order to enable the implementation of the FCE(T) Gully Erosion Project. Previously, we had ensured the successful execution of the of the GSU-Mallam Inna gully erosion project under NEWMAP, and we are committed to addressing other gully erosion sites through partnerships with ACReSAL and other stakeholders”.

The Governor remarked that the event was a demonstration of his administration’s dual commitment to protect the environment and safeguard the livelihoods of those directly affected by the project.
Governor Inuwa Yahaya explained that the compensation is intended to mitigate the inconveniences associated with relocation and to assist those affected by the project to rebuild their lives in their new environments.
The Governor thanked the affected households and families for their resilience, understanding and cooperation, expressing his administration’s deep appreciation to the ACReSAL team, the World Bank and other stakeholders who are contributing immensely to the success of this project.
In his welcome address, the Commissioner for Water, Environment and Forest Resources, Alh. Muhammadu Sa’idu Fawu said  the exercise consists of 226 beneficiaries whose residences were completely affected, 317 persons whose residences were partly affected and 165 economic trees.
In their separate goodwill messages, Hon.
