Governor of Niger State, Umaru Bago, has issued a stern warning to officials of the Minna Water Board, including the Permanent Secretary, over the persistent shortage of water supply in the state capital.
The governor gave the warning during a visit to the Minna Water Board, where he expressed dissatisfaction with the level of service delivery. He stressed that the agency has been provided with all the necessary resources to ensure efficient water production and distribution.
Bago directed the management and staff of the board to immediately ensure constant and reliable water supply across Minna, describing the current situation as unacceptable.
He warned that any official who fails to deliver on their responsibilities would face dismissal.
âIt is unacceptable for Minna to be without water. The government has provided the required support, and the people deserve to enjoy basic amenities,â the governor stated during the inspection.
He reaffirmed his administrationâs commitment to improving infrastructure and basic services, noting that access to clean and steady water supply remains a top priority for his government.
Residents of Minna have long complained about irregular water supply, forcing many households to rely on alternative sources.
The governorâs directive signals renewed efforts by the state government to address the challenges facing the water sector and ensure improved service delivery.
