During his visit to the Challawa Water Treatment Plant, the governor expressed disappointment over the deteriorating condition of the facilities.
He emphasized that the state government would fulfill its campaign promises and urged the residents of Kano to provide maximum cooperation in resolving the water scarcity problem.
The Director of Production at Challawa Water Treatment Plant, Sakabu Lawal, provided insight into the challenges faced by the facility.
“Currently, only two out of the six water pumping machines are functional,” Lawal stated while briefing the governor.
Prior to his visit to the water treatment plant, Governor Yusuf conducted an official tour of several government facilities in Kano.
