Ebonyi State government has warned against the continuous vandalization of the state's water project facilities located at Ezzillo, Ufuru-akpe and at the Abakaliki capital city by hoodlums. The State Commissioner for Water Resources, Mr.
Nkah Chinedu, who spoke to newsmen, decried the illegal connection and building of houses on water ways by citizens. He said that the state government led by Governor Francis Nwifuru had fixed all the vandalized facilities and reticulated water to the people, after eight years of non supply of water. According to him: 'the vandalization affected pipes, cables, pumps, and other vital tools. 'We started by fixing the Ezzillo water scheme.
In the process of trying to pump water to Abakaliki capital city, we discovered that the damages done on the supply system are enormous. 'Some are deliberate, some are stolen, and some are as a result of old infrastructure.' DAILY POST reports that for the past eight years, there was no supply of water to the citizens of the state by the immediate past administration led by David Umahi.
