Haruna, who expressed satisfaction with the quality and completion of the project, commended the state government for partnering with the committee in realising the project.

After taking over the facility, the executive secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency, Sunny Jackson, lauded the federal government for initiating and completing the project.

He assured that the facility would be put to proper use and lauded the governor, Alex Otti, for providing the necessary support and enabling environment for the execution of the project.

In their remarks, a consultant for the project, Basil Okoli and the resident supervisor, Donatus Kamalu, underscored the need for the immediate commencement of the use of the facility, noting that occupying the facility would go a long way to protect it from trespass and vandalism.
