The Federal Regime on Wednesday approved a N14.7bn contract for the provision of engineering infrastructure at Gidan Daya Urban Renewal Site in the Gidan Daya Area of Kurudu District of the Federal Capital Territory.

The Gidan Daya Area is where those who will be dislodged from the Nyanya Labour Camp, which has since been declared unfit for human habitation by the United Nations Habitat, will be relocated, the regime verbally expressed.

The contract, with a completion period of 36 months, was approved at the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo.

Minister of Information, Labaran Maku; and the Minister of State in charge of the FCT, Olajumoke Akinjide, briefed State House correspondents at the cessation of the meeting.

“In its desire to discharge the mandate, the council approved the award of the contract in favour of Messrs Nairda Limited in the sum of N14.7bn with completion period of 36 months.”
