The governor confirmed the project development at the inauguration of the Zobe Regional Water scheme in Dustin-ma, Katsina State, after 29 years since its commencement.

“Mr President has graciously approved the sum of N6.25 billion for ranches development purposes in Katsina State.

“Part out of this amount, N5 billion is already in the account of the state government and within few weeks you will see advertisements calling for interested companies and consultants that will participate in the construction,” Masari stated.
