Three Communities Sign Five-Year Projects Execution Agreement with Ashaka Cement

Segun Awofadeji in Gombe Three prominent communities in Funakaye Local Government Area of Gombe State have signed a five-year agreement with Ashaka Cement Plc for the provision of masses-oriented projects.

Three communities in Gombe State have entered into a five-year agreement with Ashaka Cement Plc to provide mass-oriented projects. During the signing ceremony, Ashaka Cement's Managing Director, Ibrahim Aminu, outlined a number of projects the company and the communities agreed upon, including rural roads, boreholes, scholarships for students, maternity clinics, classrooms, skill acquisition training, culverts, and a guest house.

Execution of these projects will occur annually over the course of five years. Ashaka Cement had previously signed a similar agreement in 2023, but issues arose that required a re-signing of the agreement, which was recently completed after corrections were made to comply with guidelines set by the Federal Ministry of Solid Minerals.

Gombe State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Alhaji Sanusi Ahmed Pindiga, emphasized the government's commitment to promoting responsible investments and sustainable minerals development in the state. Community leaders expressed gratitude for the support from the state government, FMSMD, and Ashaka Cement, and urged all parties to fulfill their obligations under the agreement.
