Niger spends N284 million on water pumps
Isa Vatsa, Niger
State Commissioner for Water Resources, says the government has spent
N284 million on water pumps to ease the water shortage in Minna and its
environs.
Mr. Vatsa said this in Minna on Friday while speaking to newsmen.
‘’About N284
million was spent by the state government to buy 16 low lift water
pumps for Chanchaga water works to ease the problem of water shortage
in Minna and its environs,’’ he said.
The commissioner said that the pumps would supplement the four water pumps bought by the government earlier in 2010.
He said that
construction works were already on to provide mini water schemes in
Lemu, Kataregi, Madaka, Kuta, Mashegu and Agwara areas. According to
him, each of the water schemes will cost N30 million.
