Engr. Chukwuemeka urged the Ogbunike community to establish a maintenance committee to oversee the daily operations and sustainability of the water facility, stressing the importance of community ownership and responsibility.
In her remarks, the Principal of Cave City Secondary School, Mrs. Okeke Afoma Angela, thanked the Anambra State Government for ensuring that students now have access to clean water for drinking and other school activities. She also praised the Ministry, the project supervisor — Mr. Ebogha Peter, a staff member of the Ministry, and the contractor for delivering a quality job.
The solar-powered water project is one of several ongoing initiatives by the Soludo administration aimed at improving access to clean water in Anambra communities.
