The Federal Government has announced that the ongoing N80 billion upgrades of the Alau Dam in Borno State are scheduled for completion by 2027, with plans to boost irrigation and facilitate future hydro-electric power generation.
The Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Prof. Joseph Utsev, disclosed this on Thursday during a working visit to the project site in the Alau community, near Maiduguri.
“Basically, we are here in Borno to assess the level of work on the Alau Dam,” Utsev said.
