The governor spoke yesterday during a final inspection of the property, built at the total cost of N2.2 billion.
The governor expressed satisfaction with the quality of work executed and asked the contractors, AG Ferraro Nig. Ltd, to put finishing touches to the building in time for the commissioning at the end of August.
Gaidam, who spoke of the effort of his administration to improve internal revenue generation, said the funds spent by the government in building the Investment House will be recovered within ten years.
“This is one of the many legacies we will leave behind; we will be able to recover money spent here within 10 years and thereafter, the property will continue to generate revenue for the government. It is part of our effort to diversify our revenue base”, the governor said.
The Managing Director of the Yobe State investment Corporation, Alhaji Mai Musa, who took the governor round the building on inspection, assured that his organisation will work with the contractors to ensure timely completion of the few remaining works before the commissioning slated at the end of the month.
