Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has laid the foundation for the construction of new state House of Assembly and High Court complexes in the state.

The combined project is estimated to cost a whopping N28.981 billion. According to the governor, the two edifices, along with the ongoing construction of the State Secretariat complex, which will collectively form the Three-Arms Zone, signify his commitment to providing modern infrastructure for the people of Gombe.

He added that the projects also symbolise the harmonious coexistence and independence of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial arms of government.

He said, “This historic milestone is a testament to our administration’s unwavering commitment to strengthening the governance structure of Gombe State. Since its creation 28 years ago, Gombe has never witnessed such a consolidated effort to create a befitting working environment for its civil and public servants. Today, we are setting the stage for a future anchored on robust governance infrastructure and a legacy that will serve generations to come.”

Speaking further, the governor explained that the construction of the State High Court Complex was awarded at the cost of N14,926,171,688.42, while that of the State Assembly Complex was awarded at the cost of N14,054,828,311.58, making a total of N28,981,000,000.00.

He said, “The projects were awarded to Datum Nigeria Limited and Messrs Boums Multinational Concepts Limited respectively, two contractors with a track record of excellence and high-quality performance. I have no doubt in their ability to deliver world-class infrastructure that meets the requirements of the two arms of government.”

“As we lay the foundation of these legacy projects today, I would like to remind us that they represent not just physical structures, but the foundation of a vibrant and progressive state. A state where governance is responsive, institutions are strong, and every citizen has an opportunity to thrive,” Governor Yahaya stated.
