…Binani’s boreholes everywhere but the power outages…
Blackout enters 4 days in Yola. It cripples commercial activities as relying on generators to power business isn’t anymore brilliant with the rising fuel pump price and the growing poverty among the populace.
Water, it is said, is life itself, without electricity there’s no water in the state capital and the ancient city where portable water is sourced only from boreholes even though River Benue is but a stone’s throw. The water treatment plant is neglected, abandoned, ignored, wished away, snubbed, dismissed and/or disregarded by the government that places capitalistic values only in building flyovers at a cost beyond what could have provided to every house a portable, treated tap water sourced from the River Benue passing through the state
The implementation of the N23,000 minimum wage is at the tail end, proving to be a hoax with the workers’ call, on their day, for the full implementation of the minimum wage by the state government that the leadership of the workers’ union have long accused of shielding.

The worship places; Churches and Mosques, commercial areas, schools and hospitals have indeed indeed benefited from the Binani intervention.
