He highlighted that many infrastructure facilities such as portable water, steady electricity supply, mosques, schools and other basic needs, which made the cities comfortable for habitation, were provided by the administration.
Responding to the request earlier made by the Association, the commissioner advised the association through its leadership to mobilise their members to respond favourably to the notice issued to house owners by the government to complete their houses and occupy or rent them off.

Inuwa added that from the time when the government issued the completion notice, a huge number of people moved in while others rented out their own.
He appealed to the government through the commissioner to consider their plight and give them more time to meet the required results demanded from them.
