One of the most impactful interventions so far is the provision of solar-powered boreholes in Nyanya Ward, St. Gregory Primary School Ikanda, and Beten Ward. By ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water, these projects have significantly improved public health, reduced waterborne diseases, and eased the daily struggles of residents who previously relied on unreliable water sources.
Continuation of 100 Days in Office Achievement:
Beyond tackling water scarcity, Hon. Ushie has launched an ambitious road rehabilitation initiative, recognizing that efficient transportation is a catalyst for economic growth.
