Kano Borehole
In 2009, the Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau wrote a letter to the President and Chief Executive of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, formally requesting commencement of borehole project in the State.

Dangote accepted the request and officially proposed to drill 100 boreholes in the 44 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State. Consequent on this, the governor directed the state's Ministry of Rural and Community Development and Local Government Councils to liaise with Dangote for support staff and siting of boreholes.
The Dangote team in Kano sent a list of proposed borehole sites in 44 LGAs to the state government after a preliminary investigation. Following this, Nassarawa Local Government Secretariat informed the Ministry for Local Government that they had drilled a borehole at Islamic Centre and asked for two boreholes in the Local Government to be cited in Gawana Bayan Makaranta and Zangon Dakata. The Commissioner of Ministry for Local Government provided list of names of proposed sites for two boreholes in each LGA.
Work is currently in progress in these projects.
