By Shuaib Sadiq

 The Zamfara Government says it has provided  e-governance infrastructure to optimise workers’ service delivery.

This is contained in a statement by Suleman Tudu,

Senior Special Assistant (Media),

Office of the Secretary to the Zamfara Government in Gusau, Zamfara, on Tuesday.

The Secretary to the state government, Malam Abubakar Nakwada, gave the indication while inspecting the final phase of the upgraded 30-year-old Jibrin Bala (JB) Yakubu Secretariat complex, Gusau.

Nakwada stated that by delivering an upgraded secretariat, fitted with Solar powered and Internet (WI-FI ) infrastructure, the state is set to deliver services through e-governance which is fast, efficient and effective.

He said the final of three phased secretariat complex had been completed and would soon be put back use according the state  government plan.

According to him, the renovation undertaken by Sources Plus Nigeria Limited is now 100 percent complete, and  furniture being installed in the phase III of the complex, expected to be occupied within the coming weeks.

“The SSG expressed confidence in the timeline, while urging the contractor to address some minor observations  to ensure standards.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Gov. Dauda Lawal had earlier  inaugurated the first and second phases of the project  which are now fully operational with solar power and Wi-fi connectivity, enhancing service delivery to the people.

NAN reports that the secretariat complex had languished without renovations, since it was constructed 30 years ago, despite hosting major state government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA).

The fovernment said that the modern office infrastructure would provide the work force with conducive environment to optimize  productivity and enhance service delivery. (NAÑ)(www.nannews.ng)
