Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has issued a stern warning to contractors handling the state’s mosque rehabilitation project, cautioning them against delivering substandard work. He emphasized that any attempt to cut corners would attract strict consequences.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Yahaya Sarki, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the governor, on Friday.
Governor Idris gave the warning during his assessment of the ongoing Kauran Gwandu Mosques Project 2025. The project aims to refurbish 100 mosques across the 21 local government areas of Kebbi State. He stressed the importance of adhering to project specifications to ensure quality delivery.
“All contractors must ensure quality work in line with the approved standards. Cutting corners will not be tolerated, and anyone found compromising will face consequences,” the governor warned.
To enforce compliance, a monitoring team led by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Religious Affairs, Engr. Imran Usman, embarked on an inspection tour across the state. The team, which included the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, began its assessments in the Argungu Emirate, covering Argungu, Augie, Arewa, and Dandi local government areas.
During the inspection, Engr. Usman reaffirmed the governor’s commitment to providing worshippers with a conducive environment.
“This initiative is aimed at renovating mosques that have fallen into disrepair. Solar power installations, tiling, and other necessary improvements will be provided to enhance the comfort of worshippers,” he stated.
He further stressed that contractors must meet the required standards, adding, “Any contractor found delivering substandard work will be held accountable.”
