ABUJA — Residents of Wuse District in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have appealed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to urgently restore public water supply following nearly three weeks of dry taps in Wuse Zones 1, 2, 3 and Wuse II.
The residents said the prolonged disruption has subjected households and businesses to severe hardship, forcing many to rely on commercial water vendors at high costs.
A resident of Wuse Zone 2, Mrs. Ngozi Okafor, described the situation as unbearable, saying many families now spend a significant portion of their income on buying water.
“For almost three weeks now, there has been no water from our taps. Every day we buy water from vendors, and the cost keeps increasing. Water is a basic necessity, and we are appealing to the authorities to restore the supply because we need water urgently,” she said.
