Gov Uzodinma Revives Imo State Water Supply System

Governor Hope Uzodinma in a bid to bring stellar development to Imo State, has just recently signed a restructuring contract with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for the restructuring of the state’s portable water supply system.

Making the announcement on his verified Facebook page, the Governor talked about how this project has been a long time coming since some Imo state citizens in the urban and rural areas have long been deprived of clean, portable water but that was about to change with this fresh collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development.

In his words:

Today, we signed a pact with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on the provision of clean, portable water to Imo households.

The event which took place at the Sam Mbakwe Executive Chambers, Government House, Owerri, was done virtually as Mr. Stephen M. Haykins, the USAID Mission Director and I, on behalf of the Government of Imo State both participated from Abuja.

We were joined from Owerri by the Imo State Deputy Governor, Prof. Placid Njoku, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief Cosmas Iwu, Chief of Staff, Government House, Barr. Nnamdi Anyaehie, the Chairman of Imo State Water and Sewerage Corporation, Engr. Celestine Ugoanyanwu, and my Special Adviser on Urban Water Development, Chief Oliverton Tanana Biaduo, among other top officials of our Government.

I am delighted at this successful signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which is principally aimed at providing clean, portable water to Imo people.

We hope that with the MoU, over 100,000 Imo households will have unhindered access to clean drinking water in the next one year.

I thank the USAID for agreeing to assist the State in this direction. I assure that we are committed to ensuring that both Urban and Rural Imo people get clean and portable water in line with our government’s policy of ensuring that water is made available to Imo people.

Furthermore, I assure that a comprehensive Public Private Partnership (PPP) will be worked out later to consummate this pact.

It is regrettable that water which is a very important life necessity has eluded Imo people over the years. This is unacceptable and as a Government, we vow to change the narrative.

I maintain that the provision of clean water is one of the cardinal policies of our administration, hence our desire to ensure that the dried water pipes will be brought back to life in the State with the assistance of development partners.

Sen. Hope Uzodimma
Governor, Imo State
