FG PLEDGES COMMITMENT TO PRIORITIZE COMPLETION OF DASIN HAUSA DAM.

The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to prioritizing the completion of the Dasin Hausa Dam project in Adamawa to address water scarcity and enhance flood control in rural communities. 

The project aligns with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, focusing on agricultural productivity and national food security.

The Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Prof. Joseph Utsev, disclosed that a transactional adviser has been appointed for the project, stating that the dam will act as a buffer against future flooding while supporting irrigated agricultural development.

Utsev revealed that the government has also made progress in other water resource projects, including the completion of three major multipurpose dams and the concessioning of the 40MW Kashimbilla Hydropower Plant in Taraba. 

Additionally, over 560 water schemes have been implemented in partnership with state governments and donor-supported programs to improve access to clean and safe water.
