I'm struggling to understand this. Are you saying pipe-borne water has only just become available in Enugu State after 3 decades? How, exactly, have people been getting by all these years? Surely, you're not suggesting that there are still communities relying on ponds for their daily water supply.

They have people that moves around with water tanks and sells water to the people.

Enugu City and Otukpo town has water issues for years. Boreholes drilling in this areas do not yield water unlike other places within the country due to their higher ground location.
Bringing tap water to full functionalityin such settlement is an A class achievement. Kudos to the governor.
The question we need to ask is what has PDP done for this state and we don't need to get shy of asking this question? There's a need to chastise the then ruling party.
Revenue generation is a life line for governance that will touch the common man but there's a price to pay.

We need to commend the governor and President Tinubu for making available revenue to embark on such dividend of democracy.

In your state you have pipe-borne water provided by government or it's borehole?

SuperEagles:
Shame wear me blouse on your behalf, so this is what you are celebrating in 2026 ?!


Tufuwaka !

In 2026 does your state have pipeborne water supply running in your house?

Donjezzy:
See people celebrating mediocrity this was supposed to be a basic amenity that the government owes it’s citizenry, there was a country indeed.

I want to know if the government in your state has achieved that, do you have pipeborne water provided by the government running in your house?

EasternActivist:
There is borehole sir. And people purchase water using tankers. Do you have running water scheme in your state!?

don't mind him, even here in lagos there's no Government tap around

EponObi:
See them 😂😂😂. You would think they don't have critical issues like this when they carry SW on their head like they are hawking gala in Lagos traffic. 😂

So una get banta-banta issues like this and we've never seen or heard Obi or Oby Ezekwesili or those passionate Obidents say pim about it? 🤣🤣🤣

Another Julius Berger logo and water fountain celebration loading 🤣🤣🤣

BTW, who get that house? Shey na where government suppose erect the tap? I pity the owner. When water start showing that building shege, eyes go peel. 😂😂😂

Which of the south west states have public pipeborne water provided by the government running into peoples homes?

I live in Emene. This is a pure truth

Not the entire Enugu state but Emene axis of the city,

It flowed and stopped, or it is still flowing?

Really?
In a region where everyone is a billionaire? 😂

michlins:
do you have public water supply system in your state?

Nigeria governors are useless so I am not making excuses for them sha. They will rather build airports that serve zero needs than provide basic amenities

USE YOUR BRAIN.

AIRPORT DOESN'T SERVE ''ZERO NEEDS''.

YOU ATTRACT BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT TO YOUR CITY OR STATE BY HAVING AN AIRPORT, NOT BY NOT HAVING ONE.

THE CEOs AND STAFF OF THE INVESTOR FIRMS, IF THEY CAN'T EVEN FLY INTO AND LAND IN YOUR STATE, HOW CAN YOU TELL THEM YOU WANT INVESTMENT, OR ARE SERIOUS ABOUT INVESTMENT?

YOU CANNOT ''PROVIDE BASIC AMENITIES'' WITHOUT THE INCREASED REVENUE THAT COMES INTER ALIA FROM THE CORPORATE TAXES PAID BY THOSE INVESTORS.

Which state in Nigeria has public taps?

EasternActivist:

I like your question

Good news. I have experienced public tap in the late 80s and 90s. Let's hope others State Governor will emulate this. These are some of the essential services that citizens are entitled to.

Even almighty Lagos has no pipe borne water.

They can't even pipe the water into homes directly. People will still have to queue outside with buckets to fetch the water and some illiterates are celebrating this

Tabithatim:
Tears of joy flowed freely in Emene as thousands of residents witnessed a moment many had long given up hope of seeing.

After more than 30 years without public water supply, taps that had remained dry for decades are flowing again.

Another demonstration that Governor Mbah has not relented, even for a moment, in his resolve to restore pipe-borne water and ensure that running water returns to homes in Enugu State.

Dreams come true. Tomorrow is Here.

Connect tap to reduce water wastage, and stop screaming with your questions

Savage.....

See wetin people dey celebrate.. Kai, who do us thing thing for naija?

Nicotinekills:
I imagine an American or an European citizen celebrating this level of madness

It's not madness. It's worth celebrating. Working shortage or lack is serious challenge globally, but most of you don't have sense.

In your local community, you probably rely on boreholes, but what happens when the land isn't primed for borehole drilling?

That's the challenge. You probably don't know some countries import drinkable water.

Even in the heart of Abuja, water supply is still a challenge.

Continue making excuses for our uncropulous politicians.

So water can't be drilled in a particular location and supplied or distributed from there to other parts of a state?

Please tell me a country that imports drinkable water.

The topography of Enugu makes it impossible for a personal borehole. The city is on top of hills seating on coal. So the people buy water from water tankers.

apart from Lagos, Abuja and maybe Kano airports, which other airports are viable and profitable in Nigeria without government subsidy

Government is busy subsidizing the lifestyle for the wealthy and then tell the poor people to tighten their belts

Provide power, improve education quality,stabilize the economy and investors will Waka go anywhere you want.

Oyibo came to us without airports and did business

Supposed metropolitan cities like Lagos and Abuja don't have central water system and still relies on boreholes, Emene should be celebrated for having a functional public water system.

SmartPolician:
It has not been up to 30 years. Taps were running in Emene in the early 2000s

I keep telling people you cannot support Apcheat and be normal
No point even arguing with them

The question we need to ask is what has PDP done for this state and we don't need to get shy of asking this question? There's a need to chastise the then ruling party.
Revenue generation is a life line for governance that will touch the common man but there's a price to pay.

We need to commend the governor and President Tinubu for making available revenue to embark on such dividend of democracy.

Before Apcheat became a thing
Sullivan Chime was IN PDP
If you don't know anything it's always right to ask so you can gain knowledge

You are a bloody, conniving liar...better still,you are a KID and do not know what you are saying..

We kept bidding for contracts in Enugu to "anchor" the waterboard supply lines to Independence Layout,Emene and GRA under ex gov. Chimaraoke and even Ex governor Chime...the state claimed they had more infrastructural priorities than metropolitan water supply ,at the time..

I know you are one of these GenZ kids always spewing nonsense on-line...

The same way BAT is attributing the Dangote refinery to himself

Basic123:
To me,
MBAH is the best first term governor in Nigeria.


Alex Otti is fair but overrated with hype..e.g attributing power plant built by barth Nnaji to him

Una too dey talk nonsense. Which state are you from? Swear you have public water in your house
