Gubi Dam Water Treatment Plant Incident: A Call for Enhanced Safety Measures


At about 1700 hours today, a tragic event unfolded at the Gubi Dam Water Treatment Plant, resulting in the unfortunate loss of four dedicated staff members during a sludge cleaning operation in the plant's tunnels. This incident underlines the urgent need for reinforcing workplace safety practices and strict adherence to established protocols.


The deceased are:


- *Shayibu Hamza*, 48

- *Abdulmalik Yahya*, 29

- *Jamilu Inusa*, 29

- *Ibrahim Musa*, 42


They all resided in Firo village, Ganjuwa L.G.A., in Bauchi State. Their commitment to their work at the Gubi Dam Water Treatment Plant has left an indelible mark on their colleagues and the broader community.


The sludge cleaning operation commenced around 1200 hours. During the procedure, the staff members entered the clarifier to dislodge pit pipes but were tragically overcome and retrieved unconscious. Despite immediate medical interventions, they were pronounced dead at Specialist Hospital Bauchi.


Upon receiving information about the incident, the police quickly deployed personnel. Following standard protocols, the bodies were recovered, and an investigation is underway to ascertain the specifics surrounding this occurrence. The management of the water treatment plant is fully cooperating with relevant authorities to facilitate a comprehensive and transparent review.


This incident serves as a critical reminder of the importance of safety in the water treatment sector. It underscores the responsibility of both employers and employees to emphasise and adhere to established safety protocols to mitigate future risks.
