The water project in Jigawa Dutse LGA has been impressive and commendable during my NYSC stay. Through out my 18 months stay in Dutse water supply hasn’t been a problem coupled with the electricity situation. Would always love to go back to Jigawa State again to explore the State further. This time I would love to visit the Tsari area with the zip post of 720101 gotten from https://nigeriapostalzipcodes.com/dutse-lga-zip-postal-codes/. I had stayed in the Yargaba side during the NYSC programme also share the same Zip Code.
