FCT Water Supply Crisis: Lower Usuma Dam Challenges Threaten Abuja's Water Security

The FCT Water Board is struggling to provide adequate water supply to Abuja due to issues at the Lower Usuma Dam, the main water source for the city. Challenges include lack of desilting, reduced water transfer from Gurara Dam, and inefficient water treatment plants.

The situation has led to disruptions in water supply, with the AEDC disconnecting power to the dam over unpaid bills, exacerbating the crisis.
