The Kano State Government, through the Ministry of Water Resources under the leadership of the Honourable Commissioner, Hon. Umar Haruna Doguwa, has initiated a landmark project to provide pipe-borne water supply to ten (10) communities in Gwarzo Local Government Area.
The benefiting communities include:
Riji Tsauni

The project will leverage the proximity of the main water pipeline running from the Fada and Kusalla water stations, ensuring easier and faster connection for the identified communities.
On Wednesday, 24th September, 2025, the Hon. Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Umar Haruna Doguwa, dispatched engineers from the ministry to conduct technical assessments and distance meter testing between the affected communities and the main pipeline.
The Executive Chairman of Gwarzo Local Government, Hon. Dr. Mani Tsoho (PhD), represented by his Council Secretary, Hon. Sunusi Abdullahi Getso, welcomed the engineers on his behalf.
He expressed delight and gratitude to the Kano State Government for taking this giant step towards enhancing the welfare of Gwarzo residents.
