JIGAWA STATE COMMENCES PROJECT FOR GRAZING RESERVES

(November 2011) Jigawa State has commenced a major project with NEW ERA ENERGY to utilise wind power  to pump water in its key grazing reserves.  Jigawa State like much of Northern Nigeria has significant numbers of livestock that require regular water.   The project is to provide wind driven watering stations across the whole of Jigawa State.  The project will also provide water at key points on the cattle routes that cross Jigawa State from Niger to Cameroon.
