for irrigation have cried out to the Katsina State government to reopen the canals that feed them water from the dam.

Mr Hassan, who produces lettuce, pepper, onion and garden eggs, said he would soon abandon the farm due to lack of water. “This time, I had already planted my tomatoes and pepper and they were growing when suddenly the water stopped coming. We have been complaining to those involved but they kept telling us that we should meet the Commissioner . Even the dam manager asked us to see the Commissioner because he is the only person that can address our issue,” Mr Umar said.
