President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday promised that water projects would fully cover the Abuja area councils of Kuje, Kwali, Gwagwalada and Abaji before the end of his tenure.
This was as he inaugurated a 198-kilometre water pipeline network in Bwari, FCT, declaring that clean water was a fundamental right and not a luxury.
Represented at the ceremony by the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, the President said the project ended years of dependence on untreated boreholes and streams by communities in Bwari, Ushafa and surrounding areas, linking them directly to the treated water source at the Lower Usuma Dam.
Senior Special Assistant on Media to the First Lady, Busola Kukoyi, revealed details of the engagement in a statement signed Tuesday, titled ‘We Are Laying a Solid Foundation for a Prosperous, Resilient and Inclusive Nigeria — PBAT.’
Tinubu said, “I recall that the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory came to me with the master plan for these interventions.
