The residents, who spoke with our reporter lamented that Mararaba has suffered infrastructural decay over the years, as successive administrations in the state failed to provide such amenities.<\/p>\n
Bashir Mohammed, a resident, told the new governor to provide potable water, constant electricity supply and good road in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the whole of Mararaba, the private boreholes are not enough and we want government to construct more so that residents can have access to potable water,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said residents are sometimes wary of water carried by water vendors (mai-ruwas) because they do not know their sources.<\/p>\n
Another resident, Bekky Awodi, called on the governor elect to embark on aggressive structural planning of Mararaba, which is jam-packed with buildings and overcrowded.<\/p>\n
