El-Rufai demands report on Zaria water works

Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai at the weekend directed the contractors handling the multi-billion naira Zaria Water Works to present details of the project to his government.

He said the project consumed billions of naira, yet it was not completed. He, however, promised that his administration would complete it.

The governor, who spoke when he visited the project site in Zaria, directed the contractors to present to him its details.

The non-completion of the project is also responsible for the lack of water in Zaria and the neighbouring seven local governments.

El-Rufai said: “We are here to see things for ourselves. The Zaria water project has been on for years without producing a drop of water. We must work hard to ensure its completion.

“We are committed to ensuring efficient and quality service delivery to the eight million people in the state.”

Reiterating his commitment to the completion of the project, the governor said: “By the power of the almighty God and support of the people, we will break the Zaria water project jinx and bring potable water to Zaria and the neighbouring local governments captured in the project design.

“We have directed those handling the project to give us details and the progress report. The non-completion is causing hardship for our people. We need to solve the problem.”
