It was no longer story that most suburb within Kano have for longer period of time being hit by water shortage
Despite the fact that successive administrations have tried their utmost in curtailing the situation through the provision of additional water treatment plants in Areas like Tamburawa, watari, Wudil Rigafada among others this did not overcome the challenge thus it continue by the day
This prompted some of the rich across the various localities to commence drilling commercial boreholes as it will help in no small measure in lessening the matter
The initiative wholly and squarely paid off in some quarters as a little amount one could the commodity that could be used for domestic purposes
But just of recent, an amount was imposed on those selling the amount to about five hundred natural per truck
This did not go down with most of the water sellers as they embarked on an indefinite industrial action to press home their demand on the authorities concerned to do the needful on the matter
This they said became necessary as what that are doing despite the pea nut they are collecting was nothing going by how they trekked to remote area to fetch the item aimed at assisting fellow residents in view of how it now becomes a precious commodity
They explained that the strike was just a warning one as they will not do anything capable of afflicting additional pain on the majority
They hence called on relevant authorities to intervene on the situation so as not to degenerate
PERISCOPE ONLINE team that went to Riding Murtala, Rimin Kebe, Tagarji and surrounding hamlets to monitor development reported that it was hardly one could see a truck vendor on major streets as they were all at home in compliance of the directive and even if one could be traced it will be sold at exorbitant rate like for a jerrycan
One Muhammad Sani who spoke to the team of journalists on the situation called on the two sides to sit on a resolution table so as to sort out their wranglings out as according to him is the common man that at long last feel the brunt
