This project, already underway, is designed to ensure a reliable and clean water supply for surrounding communities, significantly improving health outcomes and quality of life.
Also, work is advancing on the Idumuje Dam project in Aniocha North, another key infrastructure effort aimed at tackling long-standing water challenges in the region. Senator Nwoko disclosed that over ₦7.5 billion has been committed to this dam, which will play a crucial role in supporting both household and agricultural water needs.
Beyond water infrastructure, the projects also prioritize agriculture, with a focus on expanding irrigation systems to enable year-round farming. According to Senator Nwoko, this approach is vital to improving crop yields, reducing dependence on rainfall, and ultimately boosting food production in Delta North.
To support this, the initiative includes the provision of quality seedlings, fertilizers, and modern farming equipment to local farmers, helping them transition from subsistence-level operations to more sustainable and profitable agricultural practices. These projects will address key infrastructure needs and improve agricultural productivity in the region,” Nwoko stated, reiterating his commitment to holistic development.
Wrapping up his announcement, Senator Nwoko reaffirmed his dedication to building a stronger, self-reliant, and prosperous Delta State. He highlighted the importance of strategic investments in both people and infrastructure as the foundation for long-term growth. “Together, we will continue to build a prosperous and thriving Delta State,” he concluded, pledging his continued efforts toward improving food security and ensuring that the people of Delta North have access to the tools and resources they need to thrive.
With these initiatives, Delta North is set to witness significant transformation, positioning the region for greater economic opportunities and improved living standards in the months and years ahead.
