en.Wedoany.com Reported - Katsina State in Nigeria has achieved phased progress in its efforts to alleviate water scarcity through sustained investment in water infrastructure—32 of the 66 small town water supply projects tendered by the government have been completed, with some already operational or ready for use, while the remaining projects are still underway. Governor Dikko Radda announced this data during the launch of the Tsagero Small Town Water Supply Scheme in Rimi Local Government Area, emphasizing the fundamental role of clean drinking water in public health, economic growth, and sustainable development.

Radda stated that upon completion, the Tsagero project will supply safe water to surrounding households, schools, medical facilities, and businesses, while significantly reducing the burden of water collection on women and children. He further listed a series of ongoing initiatives across the state: the Zobe Water Supply Project, critical infrastructure repairs, automation of the Water Board's operations, and related projects supported by the World Bank under the SURWASH and SPIN programs. He called on residents to properly protect and manage the facility to ensure its long-term sustainable operation.
