General News
YOBE water corporation has awarded a contract worth N1.7 billion for the conversion of 63 diesel-powered boreholes to solar-powered.
The corporation’s General Manager, Mr Mahdi Zarma, stated this to journalists in Damaturu on Friday.
According to him, the conversation will eliminate the high cost of purchasing diesel to run the boreholes and address acute water shortages, especially in Damaturu metropolis.
He said that the state government recently increased the monthly diesel supply to public boreholes from 40,000 to 60,000 litres, which was capital intensive.
Zarma said the contract was awarded to Elegance Construction Ltd, with a completion period of three months.
He charged the firm to complete the work in good time and in line with the project’s specification.(www.nannews.ng)(NAN)
