Abubakar Cargo constructs 3km drainage in Potiskum (Pictures)
Story from Ibraheem El-Tafseer
Alhaji Abubakar Adamu Waziri, popularly known as Cargo, has constructed a 3-kilometer-long drainage system from Masaƙar Makafi to tashar Gawo in Potiskum, Yobe State.
The Masaƙar Makafi area had long suffered from the absence of a proper drainage system. Each time it rained, floodwaters would submerge the roads, making movement difficult for residents. However, Cargo has now built a high-quality concrete drainage system to ease the situation for the community.

Many residents of the area expressed their gratitude and appreciation during interviews with Neptune Prime, commending Abubakar Cargo for solving a longstanding problem that had affected their daily lives.
One resident, Ahmad Ibrahim, said “Before this drainage was built, we used to panic whenever the skies darkened and it looked like rain was coming. There was no proper channel for the water, so it would flood the entire street. We are very grateful to Engineer Abubakar Adamu Waziri, and we will definitely repay his kindness in 2027 elections.”
