 Over 21,000 Kaduna Residents Gain Access To Clean Water As State Commissions Rural Projects


More than 21,000 residents of rural communities in Kaduna State now have improved access to safe drinking water, following the commissioning of new solar-powered and hand pump boreholes across Giwa and Kudan Local Government Areas.


The projects, executed by the Kaduna State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA), form part of Governor Uba Sani’s broader rural development agenda.


RUWASA’s Director General, Engr. Mubarak Shehu Ladan, who inaugurated the facilities, said the intervention was designed to tackle acute water shortages and improve community health.


“Water is a basic necessity of life. These projects are about more than infrastructure—they are about health, productivity, and dignity for our rural people,” he said.


The installations include solar-powered boreholes in Tudun Wada (Shika Ward, Giwa LGA) and at Hunkuyi General Hospital, as well as hand pump boreholes in Ungwar Rimi, Matarawa, and Tsamiya communities of Kudan LGA. Collectively, they are expected to serve over 21,500 people.


Ladan noted that some of the facilities were made possible through his personal humanitarian contributions, emphasizing the importance of community ownership. 


“We have done our part as a government. Now it is the responsibility of residents to maintain and protect these facilities,” he added.


Residents and health officials hailed the intervention. Dr. Charles Uzomah, Medical Director of Hunkuyi General Hospital, said the borehole would significantly ease water shortages that had hampered healthcare delivery. Traditional rulers and community members also expressed gratitude, describing the projects as “life-changing.”


“You cannot talk about rural development without water,” Ladan stressed, reaffirming RUWASA’s commitment to expanding access to safe water across Kaduna State.
