The people of Umunede in Ika North East Local Government Area and Idumuje Ugboko in Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State, have once again felt the impact of democracy in action, as Distinguished Senator Ned Munir Nwoko facilitated and commissioned solar-powered boreholes with steel stanchions and overhead tanks to address their longstanding water challenges.
The commissioning ceremonies which held on Wednesday, August 20 was carried out on behalf of the Senator by his Special Adviser on Political Matters and former Delta State Commissioner for Works, Engr. Emma Ebo, alongside the Senator’s Chief of Staff, Dr. Michael Nwoko.
The events drew notable attendees, including the APC Chairmen of Aniocha North and Ika North East LGAs, as well as the entire leadership team of the Benin Owena River Basin Development Authority, led by its Managing Director, Hon. Olufemi Adekambi.
For decades, access to clean water had been a serious problem in these communities. The new solar powered boreholes now stand as a practical solution to one of their most pressing needs.
The joy and gratitude of the residents were evident as they described the projects as a true answer to their long standing cries for clean and accessible water.
