Qatar has commenced the construction of 500,000 housing units for less privileged residents of Kaduna State, North-west Nigeria. The Mega Economic City project was officially inaugurated by Qatar’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Ali Bin Ghanem Al-Hajri on Wednesday in Kaduna. Mr Al-Hajiri commended the state’s governor Uba Sani for his support for the successful launch of the project – Qatar Sanabil Project. Aside from the construction of the housing units, Qatar Charity has also pledged an array of interventions and empowerment programmes for the less privileged across Kaduna, the official said. The governor said the project extends beyond housing, it also provides clinics, shops, poultry farms, and farmlands for the rainy season and irrigation farming.
