“The project has been on for years without any commensurate development to the funds sank in the project.
“I called on the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu to change such narrative of that Manbila Hydro Power project and do the needful,” Aliyu said.

Aliyu called on the Federal Government to also look at dredging parts of the River Niger and other projects that would be of benefit to the North and the country in general. (NAN)
