The Executive Chairman emphasized the importance of quality work, stating that contractors who fail to meet standards will be required to redo the work at their own expense.
According to him that the renovation project is part of efforts to improve education infrastructure in Jigawa State.
Prof. Musa, said some of the buildings to be renovated were constructed one or two years ago but did not meet quality standards.
He stressed that any construction work must be done to last, and contractors will be held accountable for their work.

Prof. Musa assured contractors of a fair and transparent selection process.
He warned that any contractor found compromising on quality or breaching contract terms will face consequences.
“The Jigawa State Government is committed to improving education infrastructure, and this project is part of that effort,” he added.
