Suleiman Adamu, minister of water
resources, says Jigawa state where he hails from, is the dirtiest in north-west
region.
The minister said this on Tuesday
when he visited Muhammed Badaru, governor of the state, in Dutse, the state
capital.
He said Jigawa has failed in the
area of sanitation and hygiene “which is unacceptable.”
Adamu called on the governor to
declare a state of emergency on the sector and introduce necessary measures to
address the situation.
“Even though I come from Jigawa,
we have to tell ourselves the truth that Jigawa State has failed woefully in
terms of sanitation and hygiene,” he said.
“That is why it is the worst in
the entire north-west region and one of the worst in the country.”
However, the minister commended
the state for providing portable drinking water for 86.8 of its indigenes.
