FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has commissioned the newly rehabilitated ₦50 billion Phase II Water Treatment Plant at the Lower Usuma Dam in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council.
Speaking at the event, Wike disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the flag-off of additional water projects in satellite towns.
According to him, the government will commence the Bwari water project on Wednesday, while the Karu water supply project will be flagged off on Thursday. Both initiatives are estimated to cost over ₦90 billion.
He explained that the Phase II rehabilitation, awarded in 2022 at a cost of about ₦50 billion, was completed in line with the “Renewed Hope” agenda of President Tinubu, which prioritizes water as an essential service.
