“The administration has so far fixed five major water works across the state, including Asa Dam (Central); Patigi (North); Gwanara (North); Lafiagi (North); and Igbaja (South).

“The directive of the Governor is that, these motorised boreholes should be ready by the end of this month,” Arinola said.
