Amara Iwuanyanwu, has left no one in any doubt that he is committed to fulfilling his campaign promises and keeping to the social contract entered with the mass of the members of his Constituency, who voted him into office during the last general elections.

Since water is life, the provision of portable and clean water is perhaps the most vital aspect of human life, as people depend on water for drinking, cooking, washing, carrying away wastes, and other domestic needs.
