After the completion of the scheme, the houses would be distributed to willing civil servants. The measure would go a long way towards providing houses to the teeming work force in the state, which is a cardinal principle of the Lamido administration.
The Jigawa bank’s customers described their services as incomparable to other banks. This high rate of customers’ satisfaction might not be unconnected with client-friendly products and services available at the bank, especially the professional financial services the bank offers its customers.
