Background
Hadejia Jama'are River Basin Development Authority (HJRBDA) is a Nigerian organisation that
aims to develop and manage surface and ground water resources within our area of
coverage, and provide access to safe and adequate water for domestic, industrial, flood
control and agricultural purposes to enhance the quality of life of the people and promote
the socio-economic development of the country. We are responsible for upstream of the
Komadugu-Yobe River Basin spanning the Hadejia and Jama'are Rivers before they converge
into Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands.
