As a government, we are taking the first step but this will also call for intervention\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Edem said, the state decided not to use contractors but to partner with some stakeholders in the state in form of direct labour to deliver the project.He also disclosed that N10million was paid to Ifiang Oyong community as compensations for 150 hectares of land that housed the estate for the  displaced people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we have done is to partner with our people to serve as executors. They get the money from us to do the job, all they need is to look at the prototype, so it is a direct labour work, it is not a contract work, what that means is that there is no fix amount for profit here\u201d. he stressed.On the  budget for the houses, the commissioner said the governor has directed that it should not exceed N7milion per unit.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p>\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/cross-river-gets-march-date-for-idps-houses-in-bakassi\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edem Effiom Cross River State Government has pledged to complete the first phase of the 5,000 &hellip; <a title=\"Cross River gets March date for IDPs houses in Bakassi\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/cross-river-gets-march-date-for-idps-houses-in-bakassi\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Cross River gets March date for IDPs houses in Bakassi<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8031,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[132,617,489,344,41,15282],"class_list":["post-8030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-commission","tag-house","tag-houses","tag-housing","tag-property","tag-ross"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Edem-Effiom.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8338,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/cross-river-to-deliver-first-phase-of-housing-for-idps\/","url_meta":{"origin":8030,"position":0},"title":"Cross River to deliver first phase of housing for IDPs","author":"Amazing Property","date":"February 19, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Cross River State governor, Senator Ben AyadeThe Cross River State government has assured the Internally Displaced People of Bakassi that they will soon have a place of their own as the first phase of the social housing units being built by the government at Ifiang Ayong is about 70 per\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Opportunities In New Markets&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Opportunities In New Markets","link":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/category\/opportunities-in-new-markets\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ben-Ayade.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ben-Ayade.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ben-Ayade.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ben-Ayade.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ben-Ayade.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":11158,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/babagana-zulum-lays-foundation-for-bornos-resettlement-city\/","url_meta":{"origin":8030,"position":1},"title":"Babagana Zulum lays foundation for Borno\u2019s resettlement city","author":"Amazing Property","date":"November 22, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum lays foundation for Borno\u2019s resettlement city.
