The Sokoto State Governor, Dr Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto, has commissioned the N14.1 billion Tamaje Water Scheme, a major infrastructure initiative that will supply potable water to Sokoto city and neighbouring communities.

The Tamaje Water Scheme is one of six major water production stations under the state’s integrated water infrastructure plan. Other schemes in the pipeline include those at the Old Airport, Gagi, Mana, Runjin Sambo, and Rugar Liman all designed to expand access in densely populated and underserved areas.

Once fully operational, the entire network is expected to generate over 40 million gallons of water daily, significantly reducing water scarcity and improving living conditions across the Sokoto State.

The Edo State Governor, His Excellency Monday Okpebholo, who served as Guest of Honour at the ceremony, commended the project for reflecting President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” and demonstrating “people-centred governance.” He emphasized that Governor Aliyu’s completion of long-dormant projects showcased both political will and developmental commitment.
