According to him, there were security issues with the affected facilities, which were situated in Jibia, Safana, Batsari, Faskari, and other localities.
In an interview with journalists in Katsina, Yahaya disclosed this.
He continued by saying that terrorists in the Batsari Local Government Area burned down two of these recently restored facilities.
He said some staff members of the facilities located in hard-to-reach communities were, on a weekly basis, also requesting to be transferred to other areas considered to be safer.
He said, “Some of the facilities, especially in those compromised local government areas, have a challenge accessing them. For example, we renovated two facilities in Batsari but they were attacked and burnt by bandits.
“Right now, about 69 facilities are closed down in Jibia, Safana, Batsari, Sabuwa, Faskari and other LGAs due to insecurity and we had some of our staff members that were kidnapped but later on they were released.
“Another challenge is that almost every week, we receive requests from our staff members, especially females, that they should be moved from those areas to either Katsina, Batagarawa, or Kaita. These are the issues that we are facing.”
