The Adamawa State Project Coordinator for MCRP, Dr. Maurice Vunobolki, described the restored water supply as a transformative development for thousands of residents.
“This initiative is more than just infrastructure; it is about restoring dignity and improving the quality of life for the people,” Vunobolki stated.
With the initiative, residents of Yola Town in Yola South Local Government Area (LGA) of Adamawa State can now access a steady water supply following years of scarcity.
The recent rehabilitation efforts have introduced a new transmission line and an extensive 15-kilometre distribution network, ensuring broader water coverage across the LGA.
In addition to enhancing water distribution, the project included the renovation of office buildings equipped with modern facilities to support sustainable water management.
The Yola Urban Water Supply Project is part of a larger effort under the MCRP to improve water access across Adamawa State. Similar rehabilitation projects are currently underway in Numan, Shelleng, and Ganye LGAs.
