The lawmaker representing Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Mansur Manu Soro, has provided a solar-powered water scheme with 1,000 meters of reticulation at the proposed Darazo-Ganjuwa College.

Speaking during an inspection visit to the project site yesterday, Hon. Soro stated that the water scheme is the sixth of its kind he has delivered to his constituents.

Other completed projects are located at Darazo near the motor park, Soro (Bayan Tashan Buhu), Miya (Unguwan Wudilawa), Sade (Unguwan Ashiru), and Tashan Gabi Soro, the latter of which is 75% complete.

He reaffirmed his commitment to delivering a minimum of 30 similar water projects one in each of the 22 federal wards by June 2027, despite existing challenges.

“To ensure the sustainability of these vital projects, we have established the Darazo-Ganjuwa Water Management Initiative and trained indigenous youths as water engineers, solar technicians, masons, and plumbers for the maintenance of the water infrastructure,” he said.

According to him, the 7th water scheme will continue at Sabon Kaura – Titin Fada in Soro, while the 8th and 9th phases will be sited in Darazo Central and Ganjuwa West respectively, areas currently facing severe water shortages.

Hon. Soro added that he would collaborate closely with stakeholders in the water sector across Darazo and Ganjuwa LGAs to achieve his goals within the set timeframe.

He also commended Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed for creating a conducive environment for intervention in critical sectors in the constituency.
