Mr Usman Ibrahim, Director of Project, Kaduna State Water Corporation, (KADSWAC), on Monday, assured Nigerians of the Federal and Kaduna State Governments\u2019 commitment to the provision of portable and drinkable water.<\/p>\n
Ibrahim disclosed this at a two-day stakeholders\u2019 retreat to assess the progress of the Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene (SURWASH) programme in Kano, organised by KADSWAC.<\/p>\n
The retreat, held in Kano, has its theme: \u201cEnhancing Effectiveness: Procedures and Best Practise of Work Plan Preparation and Implementation, Proper Financial Management and Fund Disbursement.\u201d<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the retreat is specifically on financial documentation, fund disbursement mechanisms and procedures to best practice of work plan preparation.<\/p>\n
The director explained that both governments were deeply concerned about the Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) activities.<\/p>\n
Ibrahim said the aim of the retreat was to review progress, identify issues, and find solutions to tackle them, hence the choice of Kano.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is need to improve water and sanitation services for the people, in line with this, the Kaduna state government has awarded a N25 billion contract in December,\u201d he confirmed.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Mr Ibrahim Hamza, Kaduna State Commissioners for Public Works and Infrastructure, who doubles as the Chairman, State Steering Committee of SURWASH, recalled that the programme began in May 2021.<\/p>\n
He said there was mid-term review by World Bank and Federal Ministry of Water Resources last year to see what had been done in the past three years on the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is need for state government to bring in their money, expend it, if the result comes out, they will go and claim their money or whatever they invest.<\/p>\n
\u201cProvision of water is one of the key project of SURWASH which encompasses both urban, semi-urban and rural water supply sanitation and hygiene for most of the communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
