Government’s stand was restated at a stakeholders meeting held at the Government House conference hall in the Niger State capital on Monday.
A statement by Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo said that the decision was in the best interest of the people of the state and in line with government existing policy on monetisation.
Ndayebo stated that all those present at the meeting, including commissioners, special advisers, directors general, heads of boards and parastatals and selected senior special assistants as well board members gave their backing to the move to sell off the government buildings.
The buildings to be sold, constructed as far back as 1978, housed commissioners and state lawmakers.
The meeting, according to Ndayebo, took note of the monetisation policy of the government and resolved that only the governor, his deputy, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Chief Judge and the state Grand khadi were entitled to live in government houses.
He, however, said the meeting resolved that occupants of the buildings would be given the first opportunity to purchase or reject the buildings.
