Senator representing Delta North Senatorial Zone, Ned Nwoko, has urged the Delta State government to take advantage of the Ogwashi-Uku dam for water, electricity, and other necessities that will benefit the people of the state.

In a press statement by his spokesperson, Gloria Okolugbo, Nwoko expressed his desire to see every household enjoy potable water, not just for drinking but also for farming, using the vast potential of the Ogwashi-Uku dam.

It is believed that once fully operational, the Ogwashi-Uku dam will provide clean potable pipe-borne water for Delta State citizens in their homes. The dam will supply water for irrigation, supporting local farmers and boosting food production.

Power generation can also be achieved, as beyond water, the dam has the capacity to generate electricity, improving energy supply in the region.

It is the opinion of the Senator that the state should prioritise relief for the citizens of Delta to make everyday life more bearable.

He called on the state government to fulfil its role in completing the Ogwashi-Uku dam project, emphasising that better living conditions for the people should remain a top priority.

He envisions a future where every home in Delta North has clean water, where farmers are empowered with irrigation systems, and where the state can harness all the power-generating potential of its natural resources.

For this to be realised, cooperation and commitment from all stakeholders are essential, especially from the state government.
