He expressed government’s readiness to intervene in the sector particularly opening up roads network for easy access to the tourist sites in the state.
“This government under the leadership of Gov. Abdullahi Sule, is a government that speaks and acts, in a shortest time, it will see how best to intervene in the sector particularly road network to all tourist sites.
“If this five kilometres road is constructed to create easy access to the Dam, I believe that investors as well as holiday revellers will come to patronised this place,’’ he said.

On his part, Mr Amaks Dogara, Acting Plant Manager of Dam, said the water work was originally designed to operate 24 hours, to pump 9,000 cubic meters of water daily.
He noted that the 24 hour operation could not be achieved due to power challenge.
Dogara appealed to the state government to connect the Dam to the national grid and purchase bigger generator to address power challenge at the dam.
