LG Boss Gets Kudos Over Water Projects

The Chairman of Asari Toru Local Government Area, in Rivers State have been commended for restoring portable drinking water supply to Buguma and its environs several years after the damage of delivery pipe lines in the area.

Chief Ibiba Princewill gave the commendation shortly after his installation as the Paramount Chief of Ejimofor group of houses at the prestigious King Amachree Memorial Hall, in Buguma.

Chief Princewill said the people have continued to experience hardship due to scarcity of portable drinking water until the council chairman, Hon. Ojukaye Flag-Amachree took conscious step to repair the abandoned water delivery pipeline.

He said the step taken by the chairman was commendable as the Buguma city had remained without water supply for the past 20 years.

According to him, the water project has not only brought respite to thousands of families in the area but has become a source of employment to youths.

The new chief also pledged to put in place programmes that will unite members of the family as well as create employment opportunities for youths.

Speaking shortly after the ceremony, the Amanyanabo of Kalabari King T.J.T. Princewill Amachree charged chiefs in the area to maintain peace in their various domain.

He said that there will be no need for JTF in the area if there is peace in the various communities.

The King also urged them to remain loyal to the Amachree throne.

Meanwhile the council of chiefs in Buguma have proceeded on two months vacation.
