Governor Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has sanctioned the revitalization of 68 inactive water schemes situated in various parts of the state. 

The announcement was made by the Commissioner for Power and Water Resources, Engr. Julius Chukwuemeka, during an interactive session with vendors and contractors in Awka, the state capital. At the session, he provided an overview of the state government's commitment to the resuscitation efforts.

This decision comes on the heels of the recent Operation Light Up Anambra initiative, where diesel-powered streetlights in Nkwelle-Ezunaka were converted to solar streetlights, transforming the community's nighttime appearance. Commissioner Chukwuemeka emphasized Governor Soludo's campaign promise to ensure clean and portable water for the people of Anambra. The approval to revive 68 water schemes across the state is viewed as a concrete step towards fulfilling this pledge.

The Commissioner highlighted the strategic installation of solar systems in these water schemes, aiming not only to reduce operational costs but also to champion environmental sustainability. This move aligns with Governor Soludo's vision for a more eco-friendly and cost-effective water supply infrastructure.

Commissioner Chukwuemeka urged vendors and contractors to uphold standards, reflecting the Governor's insistence on delivering high-quality results in the resuscitation process. This emphasis on diligence and adherence to timelines underscores Governor Soludo's commitment to efficient project execution, ensuring timely delivery of improved water supply services to the state's residents.

Mrs. Ifeyinwa Uzoka, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, provided additional insights into Governor Soludo's broader objectives in the water and power sectors, emphasizing the goal of providing consistent water supply to both urban and rural areas in the state. This broader perspective on the water resuscitation project underscores the Governor's dedication to enhancing overall public health and well-being.

Managing Director of Anambra State Water Resources Management, Hon. Ikeobi Ejiofor, urged vendors to focus on delivering a standard job on time, reflecting the Governor's emphasis on accountability and efficiency. He highlighted Governor Soludo's administration's commitment to not only completing projects but ensuring their successful and timely execution to swiftly deliver improved services to the people.
