The Katsina State Government is set to begin ranching across the State.
This is coming after President Muhammadu Buhari approved N6.25 billion for ranching.
The State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari made this known when he was commissioning the Zobe Regional Water scheme, which was completed after 29 years of commencement in 1992.
The Governor appreciated President Buhari for consistently driving people oriented development projects, with the release of N5 billion to the state to start the ranches.
“Mr President has graciously approved the sum of N6.25 billion for ranch 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 advertisement calling for interested companies and consultants that will participate in construction,’’ the Governor said.
Governor Masari noted that the Nigerian Government had been focused in meeting the needs of the grassroots, explaining that the Zobe Regional Water Project was a partnership for completion with a target of providing more than 50 million litres of water to communities.
He thanked the President for commissioning the Zobe Regional Water Project, and 50km Dutsinma-Tsaskiya road in Dutsin-ma Council.
