government has spent over N2 billion in the last two years for the construction
of a standard drainage system in the state capital and its environs. Governor
Aminu Masari disclosed this yesterday while receiving stakeholders and
political leaders in the state who paid him a courtesy visit at the Government
House.
“The present
administration has expended over N2 billion to construct drainages in the
Katsinametropolis within the last two years. “When this administration came on
board, it met several wards that had been experiencing flood disasters every
time.
“This government
constructed a long drainage of fi ve-kilometres from Sabuwar-Unguwa to Adeleke
Bridge to Tudun-Natsira and Kofar-Sauri area. “The government also constructed drainage
from Kofar-Kwaya to Kofar-Kaura and joined it to Adeleke Bridge in the Katsina
metropolis. “Another drainage from the Emir’s palace to General Hospital Road
to Katsina Teachers College and outside the city wall was constructed. “The
government also reclaimed some ponds that were becoming a threat to the people
of the metropolis.
“A
two-kilometre-drainage was constructed from Yammawa to the outskirts of the
town to avert flood disaster in the area,’’ Masari added. Earlier, the leader
of the delegation, Mannir Yakubu, said that they were at the Government House
to pledge their loyalty and support for the Masariadministration.
Yakubu, who is also
the state deputy governor, commended Masari for the renovation and
rehabilitation of selected educational institutions across Katsina city.
“We are, indeed, very
grateful that the governor has upgraded all the facilities in the General
Hospital, Katsina,” he added.
