“The project is going to comprise the extension of water supply to communities in Jos and Bukuru that have no pipe network and replacement of old pipelines that were laid in 70s that frequently burst leading to the distruption of water supply to customers.

“This project will also rehabilitate two water treatment plants, namely Yakubu Gowon Water Treatment plant at Ratt and the Lamingo Water Treatment plant near British American Junction, Jos,” he said.
