Maku expressed satisfaction with the Katsina State Government’s preparation to maximally harness the Federal Government’s power generation projects.

According to him, such efforts will surely boost economic activities of the rural areas.

When the plants become operational, Katsina will be among the high benefiting states from the development on the ground.

“The effort would facilitate active performance of local entrepreneurs, cottage industries and other small scale businesses that would rejuvenate economic growths in the communities.”
