Residents applaud Wike on FCT water board

Residents of Nyanya and Karu, satellite towns in the suburbs of the FCT are showering praises on the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, for awarding and directing contractors to site for the repairs and reconstruction of the burst pipeline conveying potable water to the areas.

The jubilant residents who cited the contractor on site said the hardship of Karu/Nyanya would soon come to an end.

 The contractor, a construction giant, Messrs CGC Nig. Ltd, was seen draining the debris that had clogged the burst pipeline.

Karu and Nyanya have been without potable water since September last year when there was a pipe burst along the route from Asokoro.

Mallam Yusuf Kabir lauded the FCT minister for attending to the cries of the residents of the areas.

It was gathered that Messrs CGC Nig LTD who won the reconstruction of the burst pipeline has moved to site since last week.

Some of the residents who saw officials of the FCTA and some senior officers of FCT Water Board at the site on Thurasday commended Wike for the approval for the reconstruction of the damage pipes.

A resident of Nyanya, Mr. Joseph Ubong heaved praises on Wike and recalled that he has lost count of how much he has spent on buying water from water vendors.
