<p>The Kano State Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) Project has announced significant milestones in its water infrastructure and community strengthening agenda, with the successful completion of 10 solar-powered boreholes across strategic locations in the state.</p>
<p>This development falls under Component A2: Landscape Investment – Water Resources Management, aimed at enhancing year-round access to clean water for irrigation and domestic use.</p>
<p>According to Maryam Abdulqadir, Communications Officer for Kano ACReSAL, these interventions are critical for improving food security and building climate resilience in northern Nigeria&#8217;s short rainy season environment.</p><div class="96l32fY6" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Speaking on the details of the water infrastructure rollout, Abdulqadir confirmed that the project has invested in the construction and rehabilitation of small dams, reservoirs, and boreholes—including installation of pumps, meters, and borehole heads. “In addition to water supply, we are mobilizing communities to participate in erosion control and disaster prevention efforts,” she said, emphasizing the project&#8217;s integrated approach to environmental management.</p>

<p>Addressing questions raised in a recent video about the use of hand pumps instead of solar-powered boreholes, the Communications Officer clarified that all boreholes were implemented according to World Bank Procurement Procedures, ensuring quality and transparency. She noted that construction costs reflect taxes, contractor margins, and the inclusion of value-added infrastructure such as fencing, solar streetlights, and dedicated water-fetching areas.</p>

<p>The completed boreholes commissioned between October and December 2024 span 10 locations across Kano State, including the School of Midwifery in Danbatta, Tsamiya Babba in Gezawa, and Kofar Mata in Kano Municipal. Abdulqadir provided precise geographic coordinates and assured the public that all sites are verifiable. “We encourage journalists and citizens to independently confirm these boreholes. This is about accountability,” she added.</p>
<p>Under Component B1: Community Climate Resilience – Community Strengthening, the project also empowers communities through access to Community Revolving Funds (CRF). On February 6, 2025, a landmark â¦375 million (USD $250,000) was disbursed by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to 10 beneficiary communities from Gwale, Dala, Madobi, and Kabo LGAs. The funds are designed to help residents process and market agricultural goods, develop business plans, and invest in sustainable value chains. “This support goes beyond water it’s about livelihoods and long-term resilience,” stated Abdulqadir.</p>
<p>Further bolstering environmental protection, Component C: Institutional and Policy Strengthening led to the procurement of 10 refuse trucks and 2 pay loaders for REMASAB (Refuse Management and Sanitation Board) under the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. Abdulqadir confirmed that the vehicles are operational and visibly contributing to waste management across Kano. “You can see the trucks working across the city this investment is already making an impact,” she remarked.</p>
<p>The Kano ACReSAL Project continues to position the state as a model of climate adaptation and sustainable development in Nigeria. As Abdulqadir concluded, “Every intervention we implement is a step toward a cleaner, greener, and more resilient Kano.”</p>
