The Programme which took place at the conference room of the Ministry of Energy was chaired by myself – and had the Representative from Ministry of Finance, Justice, Works, Water and KWIRS in attendance.
During the meeting, I explained that the present Administration under the leadership of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, had great penchant for prudent management of resources, excellent maintenance of the existing infrastructural facilities and high commitments to embark on new project towards the development of the state.
I continued by stating the importance of providing the Jebba community with a Waterworks – as they have not been given one since the inception of the community, despite being close to the River Niger.
As part of the dividend of Democracy and in tandem with the cardinal policy trust of the present administration, it is noteworthy to inform members of the (MTB), that the ancient Jebba even with its proximity to river Niger had never being provided with portable water supply through Waterworks since inception.
