In a significant development aimed at improving water accessibility, ten communities in the Cross River Central Senatorial District will soon benefit from the construction of solar-powered boreholes. Senator Eteng Jonah Williams, fulfilling his campaign promises, has announced the commencement of this project in a few weeks.
The selected communities include:
Ediba in Abi
Ijom in Ugep
Assiga New Town in Yakurr
Aduma and Afaben in Mkpani, Yakurr
Ababene in Obubra
Ololumo in Ikom
Boje in Boki
Bendeghe Ikim in Etung, amongst others.
Senator Williams highlighted that this initiative is a way of giving back to his constituents and addressing the critical need for reliable water sources. The implementation of solar-powered boreholes will ensure sustainable water supply, particularly in regions that suffer from water scarcity.
\”We are committed to improving the quality of life for our people. This project represents a significant step towards fulfilling our promises and enhancing the infrastructure within these communities,\” Senator Williams stated.
The project, which will be flagged off in the coming weeks, is expected to not only provide clean water but also demonstrate the viability of renewable energy solutions in addressing local challenges. The communities eagerly await the commencement of construction, anticipating the positive impact this will have on their daily lives.
