A complete set of Indian Mark III and its accessories were procured and installed at Noforija1 according to the specifications of the Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Riser pipes were subsequently installed to ensure optimal functionality and the borehole opened to the public thereafter
Niger State
Rafin Sanyi – (GPS Coordinates – 9.146562, 7.197912)
Status: Completed
The borehole is located at Rafin Sanyi Area Bakin-Iku (Central Mosque) Suleja LGA, Niger state.
The existing borehole in the facility was located in an area with low water yields and this prompted the need for a geophysical survey to identify a new high yield location after which a new borehole was sunk. The overhead tank was reconstructed and the damaged perimeter fencing was repaired. An 11,000 KVA generator set was installed. All other materials for electromechanical repairs were procured and installed while the damaged taps were also replaced. The borehole opened to the community for use.
Handover: The borehole facility was handed over to the community on 14th August 2019 during a handover ceremony.
Fangamu – Suleja, Niger state – (GPS Coordinates – 9.183082, 7.168575)
Status: Completed
The borehole at IQBE Centre, Old Kpata was initially slated to rehabilitated but it was discovered that the state government took up the facility for repairs. In view of this, the facility at Fangamu located at Gangarin Fangamu, Gangarin Fangamu Road, Suleja, Niger state under the WOL scheme was selected as a replacement. Due to low water yield from the existing borehole, a geophysical survey was conducted to identify an area of high yield and a new hole was drilled. The overhead tank was reconstructed and also the damaged perimeter fencing was repaired. The borehole opened to the community for use.
Handover: The borehole facility was handed over to the community on 14th August 2019 during a handover ceremony.
