Background The Federal Government of Nigeria, with financing from the World Bank, is implementing the Sustainable Power and Irrigation for Nigeria (SPIN) Project to strengthen dam safety, improve water resource management, and expand irrigation infrastructure across participating states. The Project builds on the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) Project and aims to rehabilitate approximately 40,000 hectares of irrigated command areas nationwide while improving dam safety and water storage management across Nigeria's dams.

An Update Design Report (May 2026) proposes extending the Scheme by 500 hectares net cultural command area (550 hectares gross) through rehabilitation of the reservoir, intake works, canal network, and associated hydraulic structures. An independent technical review of the Engineering Design Report and Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation (BEME) classified the submission as requiring significant revision, citing unresolved technical, cost, and economic viability concerns, including incomplete construction drawings, an unsubstantiated increase in the height of the Water Conservation Structure, a unit cost significantly above the World Bank benchmark, and a negative economic return. The Sokoto State Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, through the SPIN Project Implementation Unit (the "Client"), now wishes to engage an independent Consul
