“The security situation of the North East requires civil and military relationship for improved peaceful coexistence,” he said.
The spokesman said that of the four boreholes billed to be drilled in the area, two were successfully completed, while water table in the remaining two areas had not been reached.
He, however, promised that health facilities would be provided to the areas that water table could not be reached.
In his remarks, Alhaji Abubakar Babanyawo, General Manager, Yobe State Rural Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Agency, lauded the gesture.
He said the gesture would address water shortages in the area, and assured that the facility would be properly maintained to achieve its objectives.
