The Federal Government has approved N90 billion for new water supply projects in Bwari and Karu, both in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as part of efforts to expand access to clean water for Abuja residents.
The Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, disclosed the development while commissioning the rehabilitated N50 billion Phase 2 water treatment plant at the Lower Usuma Dam in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.
He said the new projects would be flagged off this week, with the Bwari scheme starting on Wednesday and the Karu scheme on Thursday.
