This milestone which is the first of its kind by any administration in the local council since its Creation, is yet another footprint of Barr. Chijioke Ezugwu’s administration since his assumption of office as Executive Chairman of the rural Council.

His words: “I am overjoyed that for the first time in the history of UZO UWANI LGA, that a functional borehole has been drilled in the LG headquarters by a local administration, after a depth of 1000 feets/290 meters.

“Also, an Antisan borehole (flowing free without a pump), was drilled at the smart Green school here in Umulokpa by my company.

“All these were successful due to the total commitment of the council Chairman, Barr. Chijioke Ezugwu.

“I personally commend the spirit of RESILIENCE in him, especially in ensuring that these successes were achieved after many attempts by previous administrations proved abortive.

“I thank God for the success and also thank him for the effort he has made in writing his name in the archive of history.
