RUWASSA Hands Over Solar Boreholes to Kwami, Kaltungo Communities, Urges Residents to Take Ownership

Posted on August 21, 2026 by Jtimes

By Saeed Ahmad Bappah, Gombe The Gombe State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASSA) has officially handed over sites to contractors for the construction of new solar-powered boreholes in Kwami and Kaltungo local government areas to address rural water scarcity. The intervention projects are part of a broader regional initiative executed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) through the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation. During the handover tour, the General Manager RUWASSA, Engr. Muhammad Ahmad Gibirimu, explained that the projects directly reflect the state administration’s commitment to community welfare. He was accompanied by top agency officials, including the Admin Officer and Secretary, Adamu Buji, and a representative of the federal ministry, Engr. Akubo Austin. In Kwami Local Government Area, the team paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman Kwami local government Alhaji Buba Makama, before proceeding to the palace of the District Head of Doho, Alhaji Umar Usman Magaji. Engr. Gibirimu stated that the solar boreholes form part of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s ongoing efforts to alleviate public hardship by targeting vulnerable communities through sustained partnerships and advocacy. The District Head welcomed the intervention as timely and vital for the Jauro Yaya community, which has long struggled with lack of potable drinking water. Local residents and stakeholders expressed immense gratitude to the state government, local council leadership, and RUWASSA for bringing sustainable water supply closer to their doorsteps. In a related development, the RUWASSA delegation moved to Kaltungo Local Government Area. They met with the local government chairman, Honourable Silas Paris, who directed his deputy and the councillor representing Lapandimtai ward to accompany the team to the palace of Mai Kaltungo. Receiving the delegation, Alhaji Ahmad Muhammad Magajin Garin Kaltungo applauded the numerous developmental projects executed by the present administration in Kaltungo and urged agencies to continue prioritizing underserved communities. ​The new water facility in Kaltungo, mirroring the Kwami project, will be situated at Lapandimtai ward behind the Mai Kaltungo…
