Governor Babagana Zulum’s special adviser on monitoring and evaluation, Engr Ibrahim Idris Garba yesterday, Saturday, inspected ongoing construction of 2.9 kilometers road and drainage around College of Education at Waka, in Biu local government area of Borno State.
The project is one of those being approved by Governor Zulum and it was visited last week by the governor, during his four days of developmental activities in Biu.
The adviser met site Engineers working at the site around Waka Biu during his visit.
The site engineers, assured that since Zulum’s visit and directives for acceleration of work, they have remained steadfast despite setbacks caused by rainfall, which occasionally slows them.
Engr Garba went out from a zonal office for Monitoring, Evaluation and special projects located in Biu for the purpose of inspecting projects sited in southern Borno, in line with the objectives for which the zonal office was recently completed and commissioned.
The zonalo office is being staffed with technical and non technical officers that will be mandated to undertake spontaneous assessment of progresses of government projects, programmes, schools, hospitals, water supply areas and other essential public services, as part of a supervision mechanism.
While the Biu zonal office serves the LGAs in southern Borno, similar zonal offices in Maiduguri serves LGAs in Borno Central while that of Monguno serves LGAs in northern Borno.
