N-HYPADDEC completes New Bussa waterworks 70 years after

The New-Hydropower Areas Development Commission (N-HYPADDEC) has completed and upgraded the New Bussa Waterworks in Niger, which has been ongoing for between 60 to 70 years.
N-HYPADDEC managing director Abubakar Sadiq-Yelwa disclosed this in an interview in Minna on Tuesday.
He said, “This project has been ongoing for nearly seven decades and it has been a source of concern for the community. But, when HYPPADDEC came, we made it our prime activity, and it has now been completed.
“The project is expected to be inaugurated on the 30th of this month for the people to start enjoying potable water.”
Mr Sadiq-Yelwa said the commission has also continued the construction of hand pumps and solar-powered boreholes in almost all the HYPADDEC states based on the availability of resources.
He added that the commission has also sustained the clearing of waterways in its catchment states. He said this was to curb the recurring menace of marine accidents caused by trees blocking the routes of boats.
Mr Sadiq-Yelwa also said that the commission would provide fibre boats to the riverine communities to replace the local ones.
Mr Sadiq-Yelwa explained that the commission is an ongoing concern and has been going on with its various activities. He has also been able to execute various projects of concern to all the HYPADDEC states.
He said that the commission has continued with its programme and activities meant to provide succour to the communities and improve their well-being.
Mr Sadiq-Yelwa stated further that the commission has continued its programmes for the construction of schools, boreholes, and resettlement housing schemes.
”We have decided to give much attention to the resettlement scheme because of the challenge of kind of flooding which the communities always face,” he said.
