Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC), Enugu State chapter, at the weekend urged the state government to address challenges of perennial water scarcity in the state.
IPAC specifically called on Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to do everything possible to solve the problem in order to provide the people of the state with adequate potable water.
John Nwobodo who made the call in his office, however commended the governor for the provision of other amenities like roads, but pointed out that the people were bedeviled with lack of adequate water supply.
“Governor Ugwuanyi has done well in the provision of infrastructure like roads and other infrastructure.
“I’ll say that he has performed more than 90 per cent.
“When it comes to criticism, IPAC is objective.
When there is need, we criticise.
Anywhere they are failing, we shall not fail to speak up.
However, we want the government to do more in the provision of potable water to the people in both rural and urban areas,” he said.
It is only through the ballot that we can effect the change that we need,” he said.
