Vice President Kashim Shettima has hinted that the Federal Government is set to construct 7,000 houses in Kaduna and other states affected by conflict in the northern part of the country.

The Vice President stated this in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital during the commissioning of projects executed by the state government in the last 100 days.

Shettima said President Bola Tinubu has approved 50 billion naira for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to kick-start the Pulaku initiative – a non-kinetic solution to the crisis confronting the people of the northwest region.
