The state Commissioner of Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Bukar Alhaji Dauda, stated this yesterday during a formal duo taking and handing over ceremony of the ministries of housing and urban development and the ministry of land and solid minerals which took place at the conference hall of the former ministry of land and survey.

Mohammed Lamin, who was before his appointment, the state Commissioner of Education, stated that there is a synergy between the two ministries working together for the development of the state, assuring that they are committed to that course.
