…Flags off rehabilitation of Ubakala, Ariaria water schemes
Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has flagged off the rehabilitation of two water schemes in the State, namely the Ubakala Water scheme in Umuahia South Local Government Area and Ariaria water scheme in Osisioma Local Government Area of the state.
Flagging-off the two water schemes at Ubakala, Umuahia South Local Government, as part of activities marking the third anniversary of his administration, Governor Alex Otti thanked the Mercy Corps for the assistance extended to Abia State.
Governor Otti said that by the flagging-off of the Ubakala Water Scheme, the Ariaria Water Scheme is equally flagged-off and two of them would be commissioned at the same time.
“I want to thank them for this support and their resilience. ₦1.3billion is a lot of money and we cannot take it for granted.
“We are going to flag-off this project and as we flag it off, we will assume that we have flagged-off the two projects. So, when we return here again, it will be for commissioning the water scheme,” he said.
The Abia State Governor described water as critical to life, hence, his administration’s decision to take it as a critical project.
“Water is so critical to life and a lot of people have passed on, because of unsafe water,”
He disclosed that the Aba regional water project has reached 95percent completion and informed the people that the project flagged-off is an additional boost to the Ariaria regional water scheme.
