Yauri water treatment plant to gulp N1.7bn

The Hydro-Electric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPPADEC) has said it would spend N1.7 billion for the rehabilitation of the Yauri water treatment plant in Kebbi State.

 The Managing Director of the commission, Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq Yelwa during a stakeholders’ meeting on water projects and inspection of completed projects across the state said perennial water shortage in the past 20 years in Yauri had made it difficult for people in the area to access portable water supply.

 He said the commission would provide additional overhead tanks of one million litres to the existing ones to curb the water shortage problem.

 He said the current law, which prescribed a fine of N50,000 and N100,000 a big and small fish could not stop the illegal activity.
