The Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, distributed cheques worth 70 million Naira (about 449,000 dollars) to 153 Fadama users groups in 77 Fadama community associations in the state.

Speaking at an event which held at the ADP complex in Awka, the governor said that the donation was to reiterate the commitment of his administration to supporting farmers in the state towards achieving sustainable food production in order to reduce hunger and poverty in the state.

He said that his administration would ensure that the agricultural sector was totally transformed, as food was basic for continued sustenance of life.

The fund is expected to be used for the implementation of small scale community-owned infrastructure, income yielding assets and input support.

Obi enjoined the beneficiaries to ensure judicious use of the fund to achieve government’s vision of expanding and promoting agricultural activities for attainment of food security in order to fight extreme poverty and hunger.

The project is in line with the Millennium Development Goals.

Speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Agriculture, Ndubuisi Menakaya, said that aside from the procurement of 100 tractors for farmers use and the resuscitation of the collapsed irrigation facilities for rice farming, the state was partnering with the Bank of Agriculture to provide one digit interest rate loans for farmers. In the partnership, the state is contributing 500 million Naira (about 3.2 million dollars) .

The farmers expressed their appreciation to the governor while the chairman of all Farmers Association of Nigeria, Anambra State Chapter, Nnamdi Meko, thanked the governor for his intervention in the agriculture sector which impacted directly on the farmers.

Joy was the mood of Onitsha town Friday when, after 13 years of dry taps in the town, water is set to run again with the payment of 1.8 Billion Naira to a South African Water company, PC Africa in a brief ceremony, where Memorandum of Understanding was signed at the Governor’s Lodge, Onitsha, after inspection tour of the major facility of Onitsha Water Scheme at Nkisi.
During a ceremony witnessed by the European Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. David MacRae and  the  traditional ruler of the town, Igwe Alfred Achebe,  who commended Obi for the restoration of Onitsha , Gov. Obi said that the choice of a foreign company was for a thorough job. According to him,the company had done work of such magnitude in different parts of the world.
Obi, who said he decided to make full payment in order not to entertain excuses for non-performance or delays, apologized to the people of the town for the late intervention, saying it was because things did not work out according to plans earlier that caused the resuscitation of the scheme.
Speaking earlier, the State Commissioner for Water Resources and Public Utilities, Dr. Emeka Nwankwu lamented that Onitsha, with a population of 4 Million is having potable water problem. He said that by 2006, when the Federal Government rehabilitated some water schemes in the country,Onitsha did not benefit because the Government at that time was fighting the Federal Government.
He said that when Obi became the Governor, he tried and was able to get the Federal Government to include it, but that the company handling it, Funtai, in spite of receiving bridging loan from the State Government to the tune of hundreds of millions of Naira was not serious or technically deficient.
He recalled all other efforts to resuscitate the scheme through partnership which failed and that as the last resort, the Government decided to do it directly with the full payment of 1.8 Billion Naira that would take care of the first phase, involving restoration of the collapsed facilities. He said that about 10 Billion Naira would be required in the long run for expansion of the facilities to serve the entire Onitsha and environs.
Speaking on behalf of  PC Africa, its Managing Director, Glenn Burton-Durham said that with the payment and co-operation of the people, the company would deliver within time.
On related development, Governor Peter Obi said the partnership with the European Union had enhanced Anambra State’s drive to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.  Governor Obi was speaking when he accompanied the EU Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. David Macrae on interactive session with water consumers at Umuanuko Nnewi Water Supply Scheme.
Governor Obi said the collaboration was helping the State to fill budgetary gaps because of its lean resources.  He noted that water and sanitation being critical components of the MDGs have received accelerated development with the support of the EU. The Governor said the provision of water had restored smiles on the faces of the people and assured that more projects would be executed in the area.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/onitsha-water-supply-comes-alive-as-eu-envoy-visits/
