Kaduna State Government has performed the ground-breaking ceremony for the rebuilding of the Tudun Biri community in the Igabi Local Government Area after a military drone attack on December 3.
Recall that the military strike killed over 80 people, including women and children, during the celebration of Eid Maulud on December 3, 2023.
Shortly after the incident, the government set up a special Implementation and Monitoring Mechanism Committee to ensure accountability and fairness in the disbursement of all interventions provided towards the rehabilitation of the survivors and their families.
However, in a statement on his X handle on Tuesday, the state governor, Uba Sani, said the rebuilding is in fulfilment of the government promise to rebuild the community and lessen the pain of the people.
According to him, some of the projects flagged off include the construction of 5.525 KM, alphalt road from Tudun Biri community to Airport Road, the construction of a primary healthcare centre, and the construction of a skills acquisition centre for the community.
