The Anambra Government said it had sunk more
than 500 boreholes in the 18 months of Gov.
Willie Obiano`s administration.
The Secretary to the State Government, Mr Solo
Chukwulobelu, disclosed this at the inauguration
of the Borehole Drillers Association of Nigeria,
Anambra chapter, in Awka on Monday.
Chukwulobelu, who was represented by the
Permanent Secretary, Mr Daniel Ezenwa, noted
that government had recorded 200 per cent
success in borehole drilling.
He also expressed happiness over the effort of
the association in partnering with the
government in the area of providing potable
water for the people.
He said that government, on its part, would play
a pivotal role in that regard.
In his address, the state Chairman of the
association, Mr Chindo Umejiaku, noted that the
inauguration was a major thrust toward
optimizing the output of drillers in the water
supply industry.
Umejiaku explained that the prevailing water
supply circumstances in the state was far from
conducive.
Earlier, the Vice-President of the association, Dr
Lizzy Okoye, presented a paper titled “Towards
Sustainable Water Management in Anambra,” at
the occasion.
She called for the application of global best
practices and the most advanced technology for
water management plans in the state to succeed.
