Masari allocates N367m to upgrade Musawa dam
The Katsina State government has approved N367 million to rehabilitate and upgrade the Musawa Dam in the Musawa council area. The commissioner for water resources, Musa Adamu-Funtua, disclosed this to journalists after Wednesday's state executive council meeting.

According to the commissioner, the upgrading project will involve the provision of new overhead tanks and distribution networks to make water supply more accessible to the people of Musawa and its environs. He noted that the town is now under the Urban Water Supply Scheme.

The Ajiwa water project, which has a daily capacity of 50 million litres, has also been completed, Mr Adamu-Funtua said. He added that the ministry of water resources has three components: ratification, review and award of new contracts.

Mr Adamu-Funtua explained that the Musawa Dam, who previously served as a source of irrigation for farmers, had collapsed over a year ago, leaving the residents with a limited water supply. However, the Katsina State governor, Aminu Masari, visited the area and promised to restore the water supply.

“The policy of this administration under its restoration agenda, water, as you know, is one of the components where the government has done a very good job. So, it has been quite long; Musawa had a semi-urban water scheme, and they depended on the dam they used for irrigation purposes as one of the major sources of their water needs in the area,” the commissioner said.

He added that the government already had the project in the budget and that the rehabilitation of the dam was one of the governor’s priorities.

“The governor had visited and promised to do something about it. Already, the government has the project in the budget. At that time, when the governor visited the area and sympathised with them, he assured them that something would be done, and today it has become a reality,” he said.

The commissioner also stated that the project would help to address the water scarcity challenges faced by residents of the area, thereby enhancing their living conditions.
