According to him, part of the funds will be used to construct schools, health centres and veterinary clinics in the affected communities.
The deputy governor said that the state government would engage reputable contractors to handle the projects.
According to him, the federal and the state governments are determined to ensure that peace and stability are restored in areas affected by banditry, cattle rustling, kidnapping and other criminalities.
“We are therefore soliciting for the support and cooperation of the affected communities to provide suitable sites for the execution of these projects,” Yakubu said.
