OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Commencement of Community Water Supply Project in Ngelzarma
7 July 2026
Garkuwa Humanitarian & Development Initiative (GHDI) notes the commencement of the construction of two ultra-deep solar-powered boreholes in Yabawa Ngelzarma and Anguwan Maimaje, Fune Local Government Area, Yobe State. The intervention is generously funded by Dr. Mukhtar Yerima, DVM, MSc. (Betara of Gujba Emirate), MD/CEO, GENEEDXX Nigeria Limited.
The project is designed to expand access to safe and reliable drinking water through the construction of two boreholes, each reaching a depth of 280–300 metres and equipped with an 80,000-litre solar-powered overhead storage system. Upon completion, the facilities will serve households, schools, healthcare facilities, and neighbouring communities.
Valued at ₦140 million, the project was surveyed and planned by YARHASO in collaboration with Ahmadinajad Integration Global Resources. GHDI has been entrusted with the supervision of the drilling works to ensure adherence to approved technical specifications and quality standards throughout implementation.
Access to clean water is fundamental to public health, education, protection, and sustainable community development. This intervention demonstrates the value of strategic partnerships and private-sector support in addressing critical community needs and improving the well-being of vulnerable populations.
GHDI appreciates the commitment demonstrated by Dr. Mukhtar Yerima and remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that expand access to essential services, strengthen community resilience, and advance sustainable development across Yobe State and Nigeria.
