 And on business news, the federal government has commissioned a 3.5 million cubic water capacity dam that will power at least 150,000 hectares of irrigation farmland in Oumuaro, Ireapuadu local government area of Quara State, and its pilot irrigation program for Quara South Senatorial District. The federal government had through the lower Niger River Basin Development Authority lowering commission similar dam in Maleteu-Kutabarutin local government area for similar irrigation projects in Quara North Senatorial District. Speaking at the commission in Oumuaro on Monday, Minister of Water Resources, Ingenia Suleiman Adamo, represented by the permanent secretary in the ministry, Mrs. Dee Dee Walson Jackson, encouraged the people of Oumuaro to take advantage of the potentials of the dam to boost food security and create jobs for themselves. With the commissioning of this project, the good and peace-loving people of Oumuaro community will be able to engage in year-round farming activities. Hence, the community's food production will increase while income generation will be enhanced due to increase in farm yield. This, we believe, would bring about a general positive change in the overall socioeconomic well-being of the people in the community and Nigeria as a whole. I see great progress in this combination of dams, that's the dam for water supply, and irrigation scheme, and I urge the people of Oumuaro to leverage on its potentials for social economic development, including provision of more food and to attract investors and to create more jobs.
