In a troubling account from Zaria, residents like Mr. Famurewa and Hajiya Maryamu Idris are grappling with severe health hazards due to garbage blocking their sewerage, leading to unsanitary conditions and water pollution. Despite multiple complaints to local authorities, their pleas for help have gone unanswered, exacerbating the risk of diseases like cholera. The situation is further complicated by government negligence in urban planning, as seen in the case of Hanwa GRA Primary School, where land meant for future educational expansion has been allocated to a wealthy businessman, undermining the community's access to education and healthcare. The residents express frustration over the lack of infrastructure and support from the government, highlighting a broader issue of neglect in their rapidly growing town.
