Bwari Water Project Creates 1,600 Jobs, Says Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu disclosed that the Bwari water project, which features a 198-kilometer water pipeline network, has provided 1,600 direct and indirect jobs during its execution. This announcement was made on Tuesday while commissioning the Bwari Township Water Supply Network Project in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

The project is part of Tinubu's administration's Renew Hope Agenda, which aims to decentralize development and improve living conditions in underserved communities. Tinubu emphasized that access to clean water is a fundamental right and reaffirmed the government's commitment to infrastructure development across the nation.

The project is expected to enhance public health, reduce waterborne diseases, and eliminate reliance on costly private boreholes. Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister, noted that this project is the third major water intervention completed under the current administration, which has also rehabilitated the Abuja city water system and commissioned the Karu satellite town water project.
