Governor Aminu Masari speaking shortly after the donation said the building is expected to be completed in the next four months.

“There are several donations made by so many personalities including President Muhammadu Buhari among others who don’t want their names or identity disclosed for political reasons.

“From the look of things, the money generated so far will be enough for us to make some progress or complete the whole project,” Masari noted.
