INTRODUCTION

With recent problems in building technology in Bauchi LGA, there should be a sensitive solution

to the challenges facing it. The challenges are due to the lack of modern freemason in the LGA,

and There are a lot of unemployed youths in the local government who are not engaged in any

occupation or activities but rooming the streets and mostly participating in dubious activities which

could result in damaging their future. Its quite heart-touching to let our potential youth go astray

due to the lack of employment.

Masonry is the building of structures from individual units, which are often laid in and bound

together by mortar, the term masonry can also refer to the units themselves. The common materials

of masonry construction are concrete block, brick, building stone such as marble, granite,

travertine and limestone etc. masonry is generally a lightly durable form of construction. However,

the materials used, the quality of the mortar, and workmanship and the pattern in which the units

are laid (assembled) can substantially affect the durability of the overall masonry construction. A

person who constructs masonry is called a mason or bricklayer. Apprentices in this field should

carry out completely and efficiently all construction related to masonry unit installation and

plastering from working drawing. They must be competent and knowledgeable in all safety aspects

of the trade, materials, use of tools and mechanical plants, setting out and measuring of

foundations, walls and wall openings, laying of block and bricks and ceilings and repairs and after

existing brick/block work, and other construction; erect and dismount scaffolds, construct drainage

systems, and have knowledge on the types of pipes and special fittings of drainage system; Apply

knowledge on tempering to trenches, to various types of soils and make temporary supports during

demolishing work by using dead shore, racking shores, flying shores; must have good command

of basic communication regarding the trade, the functional requirements and design factors of

various buildings, drainage

NATURE OF THE PROGRAMME

Bauchi Masonry Technology and Training Institute (BAMTI) is Practical and theoretical education

based programme which inculcate both practical and theoretical aspect of general Building and

maintenance services. This programme contains all the tips needs to train an individuals to become

a modern building engr. The (BAMTI) programme provides basic maintenance for any building,

construction industries etc. This require an ability to stay current with modern building

technologies.

The programme would last for four (4) consecutives semester and each semesters would

The participant must passed all the stimulated courses to enable him graduate from the programme.

And at the end of the final exams the successful participants would be issued the certificate and

the required tools necessary for the training or option being given to him and some amount of

money to enabled him established himself/herself

ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE

The institute should be located in Bauchi Local Government Area of Gombe state. The building

should be constructed in a standard way for durability and safety related issues.

The administrative blocks should also built to accommodate the staff. The whole size land

for the institute is approximated to 400 meters square, and the construction may cost 30,000,000

CONCLUSION

Conclusively, the program is actually designed to create a way to the increasing unemployed

youths to be fully self-independent or self-reliant citizen by giving them a vocational and technical

education training and awareness. The Programme is engineered toward creating a source of

revenue to the local government.

Although the program is quite financial exhausting but if its fully implemented would

multiply, or generate revenue more than ten times injected. While at the same instant some

numbers of the participants would be retained in the local government works department.
