The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Peter Mbah on Mainstream Media, Dan Nwomeh has reiterated the determination of the Governor to provide water to every home in Enugu state.
He stated this at the CSO/Media Exchange maiden edition organised by Network of Water Rights Initiative in partnership with Global Society for Anti-corruption, Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists and Media Unit, Government House, Enugu to the International world water day 2024 with the Theme Water for Peace.
According to him, the Governor promised to make water available in 180 days and he was able to meet the target saying that work is in progress to replace water pipes in some parts of the states to ensure that all homes have access to drinking water.
Nwomeh who lamented some challenges encountered in the course of making water available said over 200 houses in some parts of the state are built on water lines “and this makes it difficult for engineers to work in those areas.
“These houses were built illegally and the Governor said he cannot demolish the buildings rather than find an alternative way of solving the water problems in the areas.
“As a result of this hindrance, water cooperation does not have capacity to do so many things that they need to do but this will not stop us from providing water to every homes in the state as the Governor is working day and night to ensure that water are made available in all nooks and crannies of the state,” he said.
