President Nana Akufo-Addo has commissioned a $55.50 million water project for the people of Jambusie at Wa in the Upper West Region.<\/p>\n
The Water Project, which was constructed with a facility from the Korean Exim Bank, will supply 3.3 million gallons of water per day to the 100,705 residents of Wa.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Commissioning the Project, President Akufo-Addo described it as a very happy day for him, especially as the project was started \u201cat the time of the great Ghanaian leader, John Agyekum Kufuor.\u201d<\/p>\n
The President noted that \u201cit was in his (President Kufuor\u2019s) time that the financing for this project was secured, as far back as 2008. But, unfortunately, after he left [office in 2008], it took five years under the NDC governments before the construction of the project began.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cGod has his own way of doing things. A project that was begun by Kufuor is going to be commissioned by Akufo-Addo. That is the way the Almighty works,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo urged residents of Wa to \u201clook after the project and make sure you use the water with care. Turn off the taps [when not in use], continue to conserve water, and settle the little bills that would come, so that the project would continue to run and provide you with the service.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The President commissioned the project on Monday as part of two-day tour of the region.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He is expected to visit the Upper East and Northern Regions as part of a 7-day tour of northern Ghana.<\/p>\n
