The project, which is being executed in partnership with the Rural Water and Sanitation Agency (RUWATSSA), is fully funded by the Hon. Felix Akposi-led administration. It is part of the Chairman’s commitment to ensuring sustainable access to clean and safe water for rural dwellers.

While speaking on the project, the Chairman of Akamkpa Local Government Council, Hon. Akposi expressed gratitude to God for the opportunity to serve and reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of his people.

“My promise to Akamkpa is anchored in God, hence my decision to advance my campaign mantra of ‘Serve My People’,” he stated.

The borehole drilling initiative, he explained, is a direct response to the pressing water needs of various communities, especially during the dry season.

Receiving the drilling team, the Village Head of Iwuru Central, His Highness Ophot Paulinus Mbong, thanked the Chairman for what he described as a timely and impactful intervention.

“We have seen different chairmen of council come and go, but the current Chairman has touched us where it matters most. The challenges we face during the dry season are enormous, but this project has brought succour to us.
We will take ownership of the project and ensure that everything is kept in order,” the traditional ruler pledged.

Speaking on the technical aspects, Mr. Theophilos Abri, the lead geologist on the project, assured the community of sustainable results. He revealed that thorough geophysical tests were conducted during the dry season to ensure optimal borehole depth and yield.

“We studied the aquifer formations to determine areas of high yield. This standard will be maintained across all other boreholes we drill for the local government,” Mr. Abri said.

The initiative is seen as one of the boldest rural water interventions in recent years within the council area and is expected to significantly reduce water-related hardships across the 35 beneficiary communities.
