Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s Achievements in the Ministry of Water Resources

As the adage says, anything that has a beginning must have its stopping point – despite having an eventful and exciting time as the Commissioner of Water Resources in the state, like you all know, it has come to an end.

I see my time in office as a learning period, a privilege to serve my people, and contribute to the growth and development of our beloved state – which I hope I have been able to achieve.

A lot has been achieved during my time in office and I want to attribute all the achievements to the support I get from Kwarans (through sharing of information about the water condition in their environment and other aspects) because without them it can not be possible.
