In a major step that will positively affect the health & economic lot of Imo people, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has announced the restoration of public water supply to Owerri metropolis.
Announcing this through his verified Twitter handle, Uzodinma said, “Public portable water supply, which has eluded the residents for about 24 years, will be restored in the next few days,” adding that this development will make life easier for the residents of the densely populated Owerri municipal.
According to him, “It will be recalled with sad nostalgia that the last turn around maintenance carried out in Otamiri water works was in 1996, hence, I directed a holistic overhaul of the scheme in line with modern technology.
“I therefore solicit the support of the people of the State as our administration works hard to recover lost grounds and put the State on the path of sustainable development.”
