Residents of Onitsha community, the commercial hub of Anambra State, took to the streets this week to celebrate the return of pipe-borne water to the city after nearly a two-decade scarcity.
The revitalised water supply system, courtesy of the Anambra State Water Corporation, has brought tap water back to households in Awka Road and Osuma areas, marking a significant achievement in Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration.
Residents are overjoyed and have been praising Soludo for his unwavering commitment to delivering on his promises.
“This is a dream come true!” exclaimed Mrs. Nkechi Okoye, a resident of Awka Road.
“We’ve been relying on boreholes and sachet water for so long. Thank you, Governor Soludo, for bringing back the good old days,” Okoye added
