The Federal Government has granted six water use licences to the Kano State Water Board through the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission (NIWRMC), according to a press statement issued on Friday in Abuja by the commission’s head of public relations, Mrs Getrude Madina.
The statement quoting Mr Magashi Bashir, Executive director, NIWRMC, said the licenses were to enable the State access, officially extract water, and to aid them to expand water wells, and improve water supply to the Nigeria Bottling Company from the Challawa Plant.
By law, the Commission has been mandated to issue licenses for water use, as well as regulate water resources in Nigeria, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
