Popular Yobe philanthropist, Kashim Musa Tumsah, has announced plans to commence another round of water projects for communities across the state.
Tumsah said the move is part of his ongoing effort to complement efforts of Governor Mai Mala Buni to address water shortage in the state.
The philantrophist broke the news on his social media handle on Saturday.
According to the oil and gas lawyer and diplomat, the next phase of water projects through solar-powered boreholes was being put together along with his friends as a way of appreciating Allah for allowing him experience another birthday.
Recall that many communities in the state have benefited from solar powered water and street lights projects from Tumsah under his Light Up Yobe Initiative.
The initiative was designed to provide communities in dire need of clean and potable water.
In the planned next phase of the intervention, the philanthropist urged community members where water shortages are prevalent to take part in the process.
“In order to complement the laudable efforts of the Governor Mai Mala Buni led-administration, and in expressing my gratitude to Almighty Allah for allowing me see another birthday my friends and I are calling on all Yobe State citizens to take part in the next phase of our water provision to Yobe communities project.
“The water project which is a part of the Light Up Yobe Initiative is intended to provide communities in dire need of clean and potable water with Solar powered boreholes,” the post said.
According to the information he provided, benefiting communities are to be selected based on nominations stating the village/town, ward and local government areas.
It stated that towns/villages with the most nominations in each Local Government Area will qualify for solar power boreholes immediately.
The information, however, barred local government headquarters from participating in the nomination process which targets indigent rural communities only.
It noted that nominations would run for two weeks, urging other well to do within and outside the state to play their roles by giving back to the society.
