The Jigawa government has established a 10-member committee to review the state’s regional planning framework for urban renewal and development.
Sagir Musa, Commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports and Culture, announced this during a news conference at the conclusion of the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting on Friday in Dutse.
He explained that the decision followed a presentation by Pragmatic Solutions Consult, which outlined a strategic blueprint for land use and infrastructural development across the state.
“The plan aims to ensure quality environmental management, housing, transportation, and economic zoning to promote orderly and equitable growth throughout Jigawa,” Musa said.
