**JUST IN** Katsina To Build 34 Mosques With N359m. The Katsina State government Wednesday awarded a N359.4 million contract for the construction of 34 Juma’at mosques in the state. Presenting certificates of the contract to the executors, Governor Ibrahim Shema said each mosque would cost the government N10. 5 million, and that they would be spread across the 34 local government areas of the state. Shema said the gesture was part of the present administration’s efforts at improving the welfare of the people. “The present government has empowered thousands of women and youths; they were trained in various skills and given money to start businesses. We have been procuring farm produce from our farmers at an appreciable price and selling same to citizens at cheaper rates,” he said. The governor, who said that the contracts were awarded to indigenous companies, warned the contractors to have the fear of God in the execution of the projects. Earlier, Special Advisor to the Governor on Community Development, Alhaji Abubakar Yusuf Bindawa, said the present administration has constructed 305 Islamiyyah schools and mosques. Bindawa said 12 new Juma’at mosques were earlier constructed by the government at the cost of N200 million. - Daily Trust. - Hope For Nigeria.
