Residents of Kawaji Saunar MamaU community in Nassarawa Local government Area of Kano State, were thrown into jubilation as the LG electronics unveiled a solar powered borehole to provide access to potable water in the area.
Expressing her satisfaction on the project, a resident of the community, Maryam Hassan, said for years, her community has been faced with the issue of having portable water, especially during the dry season where their wells go dry and residents would have to trek long distance in search of water.
Having a bit of relief, she said, “now we have safe drinking water and what to help us tidy our homes”.
Speaking during the commissioning of the project on Wednesday, the LGs Head of Corporate Marketing, Mr. Paul Mba, expressed the company’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and community empowerment.
