The 10-megawatt Tiga Dam hydroelectric project has been completed.

 This was announced by the Kano State Government through Hadiza Tukur, managing director of Kano Hydro and Energy Development Company (KHEDCO).

The power plant, according to Mrs Tukur, will supply power to the city’s street lights as well as the state’s water treatment facility in Tamburawa.

She said the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency has not yet certified the power facility (NEMSA).

“In the power plant, we have two generators, one is vertical, which will generate 8 megawatts of power capacity, and the other one is horizontal, which will generate two megawatts of power making ten megawatts. That is why it’s called Tiga ten megawatt power generation station.

“Everything is being completed pre-commission test is ongoing. What remains is the certification of the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA).

“Another thing waiting for is also automation when it’s completed, we are going to open the water and allow it to rotate the turbine. We have gotten permission from the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority.

“The Eight megawatts are being tested without a load, but in the next two weeks, we are going to test them with a load. The same applied to the two megawatts,” she was quoted as saying.

Report from Daily Nigerian has alleged that Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is planning to bring an atrocious leader of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Kolo Yusuf, as the state’s police commissioner.

He is said to be deployed to Kano to help the APC rig 2023 elections.

Barrister Audu Bulama Bukarti has affirmed this allegation in his tweet and recalling how Mr Kolo tortured and killed his client.

The Daily Nigerian newspaper went on to claiming that Dr Ganduje and Mr Kolo will meet this weekend to finalize the deal.

Recall that SARS was infamous for rights violations, torture, arbitrary murders, and suspicious incarceration up until its termination in October 2020 following widespread demonstrations, popularly known as the #EndSars protests.

Mr. Yusuf, who currently oversees Special Tactical Command, previously oversaw SARS in Kano, where he was charged with torturing individuals and perpetrating arbitrary deaths and detentions.

Similarly, another source who claimed for anonymity confirmed to journalists that the Kano governor had been assured that all would go well as all indications showed that the IGP had agreed to execute the plan.

In the 2019 election, the APC was alleged to have rigged the governorship election which saw Ganduje come back to power, after controversially defeating Abba Gida-Gida in an lection that would never be forgotten by Kwankwasiyya adherents.
