Excitement in Ugwuakuma as Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa Commences Solar-Powered Water Project
The community of Ugwuakuma in Arochukwu, Abia State, erupted in celebration as Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa flagged off the construction of a solar-powered borehole—an initiative aimed at addressing the long-standing water scarcity in the area. The project, which follows a similar successful intervention in Umuye, Ihechiowa, was warmly received by residents who have endured years of limited access to clean water.
Speaking at the event, an elder in the community expressed the collective relief of the people, saying, “For many years, we have felt neglected. This project represents more than just water—it symbolizes hope and recognition.”
Represented by his aide, Mazi Eberechukwu, at the official groundbreaking ceremony, Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa reaffirmed his commitment to improving the living standards of his constituents through impactful and sustainable projects.
“Access to clean water is a fundamental human right,” he stated. “No community in our constituency should be deprived of such a basic necessity. This initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring that all citizens enjoy a dignified standard of living.”
The solar-powered borehole is designed to deliver long-term benefits to the Ugwuakuma community, including:
•Uninterrupted access to safe and potable water for domestic use
•Reduction in the prevalence of waterborne diseases
•Energy-efficient water supply through solar technology
•Reduced burden on women and children, who often trek long distances in search of water
•Improved public health, hygiene, and overall well-being
This intervention is part of Hon. Ibe’s broader development agenda focused on human capacity development and infrastructural enhancement across the Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency. By tackling immediate needs while laying the foundation for future growth, Hon. Ibe continues to demonstrate visionary and people-centered leadership.
Residents of Ugwuakuma and surrounding communities remain optimistic that this water project is a sign of more impactful developments to come under Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa’s stewardship.
