Borno State Government under the distinguished leadership of His Excellency Prof. Baba Gana Umara Zulum mni, FNSE has promptly and squarely addressed about two decades of water scarcity in Jakana, Konduga, L.G.A. of the state.
The story of Jakana changed from water stressed community to water rich one, following His Excellency’s instruction and subsequent prompt approval for RUWASSA to rehabilitate and upgrade all the existing Boreholes in Jakana.
The Agency then swung into action and accomplished the given instruction. To ensure holistic implementation of the said Agency’s assignment, the GM Engr. Dr. Mohammed M. Aliyu and his team comprising the Director operation of the Agency, Engr. Babagana Sa’ad then visited Jakana to monitor and evaluate all the rehabilitated and upgraded Boreholes.
The team met the over joyous people of Jakana who were grateful and prayerful to the state government for coming to their aid. The GM then called the attention of the Borehole operators to ensure people have frequent access to water and advised the LGA to support the operators to avoid exploitation of the citizens. He then promised to return to Jakana in a couple of days in collaboration with the L.G.A. to form WASHCOM in each of the facility for sustainability of the facilities.
