Ugwuanyi delivers solar-powered boreholes to Enugu markets, courts

In its efforts at providing all-around potable water to people in Nsukka and environs, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has in keeping with its rural development agenda, constructed one motorised and seven solar-powered water boreholes in some courts and markets in the rural areas of the state.

The water projects, which are part of the concerted efforts of the state government to provide potable water for residents of Enugu State irrespective of where they reside, were inaugurated simultaneously in five markets, two courts and a community square.

Speaking on the projects, the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Greg Nnaji, disclosed that the water projects were duly captured in the 2021 budget and consequently approved by the State Executive Council.

Nnaji added that the two water projects, located at Eke Ozzi Market, Ogurute, Enugu Ezike in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area were inaugurated by the Commissioner for Rural Development, Prince Emeka Mamah, on behalf of Governor Ugwuanyi, while the one in Ezinese Community Square in Agbaja Umumba Ndiuno in Ezeagu LGA was also inaugurated on behalf of the governor by the Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Dr David Ugwunta.

According to the Works Commissioner, the newly constructed borehole at Nkwo Ibeagwa Aka Market, Igbo-Eze South LGA was inaugurated by the Commissioner for Housing, Hon. Vitus Okechi, while the one at Orie Orba Market, Udenu LGA, was opened by his counterpart in the Ministry of Finance, Hon. Mrs. Ada-Onah Uyanwune.

The Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Peter Okonkwo, inaugurated the water project in Ogige Market, Nsukka, Nsukka LGA while the State Attorney General/Commissioner for Justice, Hon Miletus Eze, commissioned the facilities at Nsukka High Court and Magistrate Court, on behalf of the governor.

Inaugurating the two projects at Igbo-Eze North LGA, the Commissioner for Rural Development, Hon Mamah, stressed that the boreholes demonstrate Governor Ugwuanyi’s sustained vigour and tenacity in improving the living conditions of the rural dwellers who hitherto lacked basic amenities such as potable water.

Reacting, traders and other beneficiaries thanked Ugwuanyi for the time-honoured projects which they described as a basic necessity for proper hygiene and healthy living, especially in this period of public health challenges.

They urged the governor to remain focused in his untiring efforts towards improving the living standard of all residents of the state in spite of the nation’s challenges.
