Bello approves N156m for 22 abandoned water projects

To avoid waste of resources committed to projects by the previous administration, Kogi State government has approved the sum of N156m for the completion of 22 abandoned water projects across the three senatorial zones of the state.

The state’s Commissioner for Water Resources, Mr. Salami Ozigi, who made the disclosure at a news conference in Lokoja, over the weekend, said the approval was given by Governor Yahaya Bello, during the State’s Executive Council (SEC), meeting held last Wednesday.

Ozigi said the fund would be used to re-mobilise contractors handling all abandoned water projects awarded by the previous administration back to sites for the completion of such projects.
