Victor EzejaAnambra-born philanthropist and chairman of Oranto Oil, Prince Arthur Eze, has awarded contracts for water borehole projects worth billions of naira in parts of Enugu metropolis.
The scarcity of water has been a perennial problem for residents in most parts of the city.
The water project involves sinking boreholes in all the major areas in Enugu town which include: Coal Camp, Abakpa, New Haven Awkunanaw, Garki, Trans-Ekulu and other areas.
For the first phase, the engineering team undertaking the project has discovered a large deposit of water beneath the earth at Emene Industrial Layout. This according to the plan, is to provide water for residents of Emene including the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Other projects in other areas will follow subsequently.
The philanthropist had last Sunday, 29th January, commissioned a road project he did for residents of Nike and the Anglican Church within the area.
The Housing Estate Road that leads from Nike Road to the Cathedral Church of St. Cyprian, Abakpa-Nike, was reconstructed by Prince Arthur Eze at the request of Nike Diocese, Anglican Communion, Enugu.
