Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State has directed the state Ministry of Water Resources to urgently conduct a comprehensive technical assessment of two collapsed earth dams located at Kore village and Majen Wayya in Batagarawa and Charanchi Local Government Areas of the state.
He gave the directives on Tuesday at Government House, Katsina, while receiving a high-powered delegation of stakeholders, including members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who formally defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said the collapse of the dams is a pressing infrastructural challenge that must be addressed without delay in order to safeguard food production and strengthen food security across the state.
