Minister for Works, Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Hassan Lawal, disclosed the new initiative at a meeting in Abuja last Friday with state Commissioners responsible for Works, Housing and Urban Development in the South-South Geopolitical zone of the country.

Lawal urged Commissioners from the other geopolitical zones to emulate the Commissioners from the South-South zone.
Also addressing the meeting, the Minister of State for Works, Housing and Urban Development, Mrs. Grace Ekpiwhre, disclosed that the Commissioners were also meeting with officials of the Niger Delta Ministry and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to review and harmonize programmes and projects, with a view to eliminating duplication of projects and wastage of resources.
Commissioners present at the meeting include those of Bayelsa, Edo, Rivers, Cross River and Delta states.
