Tinubu Government's HYPREP Water Project In Ogoni Land Collapses Four Days After Commissioning

Just four days after its inauguration, the overhead water tank at the Gwara Water Project in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State has collapsed.

The situation has sparked outrage among residents and raised serious questions about project execution under the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).

The facility, commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Environment alongside HYPREP as part of the ongoing Ogoni clean-up and community support programme, was designed to provide sustainable potable water to the people of Gwara community after decades of environmental pollution and neglect.

Some eyewitnesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the structure suddenly gave way, sending the metal frame and tank crashing to the ground. No fatalities were reported as of press time.

“This was supposed to bring relief to us after so many years of suffering without clean water. Now look at what has happened in less than one week,” a resident lamented, urging authorities to conduct a thorough probe.

If U ask them how much was allocated for this project, ur calculator fit explode.

This government and fake project to embezzle

Shey na Tinubu construct am ni.

They should probe the contractor who will probably be one of their people for doing useless work.

Below are some of the other project HYREP claimed they did a they are under the Ministry of Environment.

Make them buday the contractor, he got questions to answer.

The master plotter strategist structure 🤣😂😅
That contractor no go chop this money, wrong time. The pressure on master plotter is high

But it is not Tinubu that is physically constructing the project. Corruption runs in the average Nigerian from top to bottom, all the people involved in this construction are to blame. Easy to blame the president, but Nigerians need to take a hard look at themselves first. Market women cheat customers, employees cheat their workers, government workers cheat, yet all these people will sit down and be pointing fingers at "the leaders".

I will like to see the edit

When he started the project, una no announce. But when e collapse, una dey drag!

I’m one hundred percent certain that you all will be quiet again if they start the project again and complete it. Obidients will even curse anyone that praise the government for the success.

Funny people.

The Wicked contractor did cash out. If there are laws that such a contractor will be executed or serve jail time they will do it with due diligence with high quality supervision

The decrepit C in C and his decrepit projects. Worthless old people who know nothing and do nothing well. Project portfolio filled with trash and nonsense.
Crazy aspect of this whole thing is that these people had the opportunity to learn from the best. Lived their youth in absolute bliss. You'd wonder what they'll gain from destroying a legacy others built and replace it with incompetence, corruption and stupidity before they leave this earth with nothing.

Nawaoh, this is certainly not the time to be an APC member or supporters chai ...trump was right afterall, even though he could have said a disgraceful government...fake Bishops now fake water project

Instead of them to contract Michilins on here to construct a standard tank for them that will last the test of time.

Who should probe the contractor?

The people who have no power to do that or Tinubu's government that gave the contract out under the ministry of environment?

You are saying they should go for the contractor, you and I know that this might be the last you will hear about this issue because Tinubu's government has shown to be very irresponsible...

Every structure is already collapsed

Security,economy, education etc

Nigerians haven't gotten it this worse

Iceking1:
But if it were to be the time of GEJ, he'd be the one that physically constructed It in ur eye's. You for dun blame am tire, insult craze commot for he head.

If it were to be GEJ, I would say exactly the same thing. This is not about the specific person in power.

they should have requested for bullion van manufacturing plant instead of this.the only thing that he commission and it last long is bullion vans manufacturing company. if you doubt me ask lagos state or nigeria people

The Wicked contractor did cash out.
If there are laws that such a contractor will serve jail time they will do it with due diligence and deliver a high quality project that will set a world standard

My bad, understood... Tank's for the clarification.

Nigerians are fantastically corrupt..... Those that did that project,are they not Nigerians? Those at helm of our political affairs are the exact reflection of the society.

Peter Obi ehhh.... this is bad! 😂😂😂

Nah ministry give the contract to poor contractors unto say them collect money so nah the Govt fault

Can anything good come out of Tinubu?

Don't blame Tinubu for this, blame the governor and local government chairman.

Failure truly has no friends.

There was silence when this project was conceived, built, and commissioned—no news, no broadcast. But the moment it failed, gbam! The enemies of progress wasted no time broadcasting the failure to the world.

Now, to the heart of the matter: Nigerian contractors have a way of undermining even the best intentions of leadership. The civil servants tasked with monitoring projects often remain glued to their office chairs, claiming to oversee progress from afar. And if the government dares to hold them accountable or remove them, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) steps in with emotional blackmail, flooding headlines with tales of workers being "thrown into the labor market."

Being a good leader in Nigeria is an uphill battle. There are too many deliberate traps set at every turn, designed to ensure failure. And don’t be surprised if this contract was awarded to an indigene of the community—someone who was handsomely paid for the job—only for the result to be this disappointing.

Now the headline called it Tinbu's Water Project, just because it suffered a mishap. If this project had been successful, they would have deployed all the tricks in the text book to downplay its significance.

This is how his government and APC will collapse come 2027. Fake projects everywhere.

Massive failure of a man tinibu.. very weak incompetent n wicked..

Pls I want to ask.. if yoruba has their own country,, will they ever want someone like tinibu to rule them??
