An Indian engineering firm, Lutech- Pratibha, says no fewer than 200 indigents of Bauchi State were employed while executing the State’s Government water project.
Mr Kumar disclosed that only five Indians are presently working in the company, saying the large number of the local employees were responsible for the peaceful coexistence between the management of the firm and the state, especially the people of Gubi community, where the company was located. “We have employed about 200 people here and we only have five key personnel from India. All others are here and most of them are from this area, that’s a good gesture,” he said.
He said the project was the part of state government’s efforts to meet the people’s demand for water in the state, adding when completed 7.5 million litres of clean water would be supplied to Bauchi metropolis and environs on a daily basis.
