Danga<\/a>, Commissioner for Water Resources, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n
The Nigerian Union of Journalists, Kogi State Chapter rose from its Congress last weekend with an appeal to Governor Yahaya Bello to restore water supply to residents of Lokoja Metropolis and its environs to ameliorate the hardship being experienced due to the scarcity.<\/p>\n
\n
Danga, who spoke with the NAN on Tuesday in Lokoja, the state capital, expressed regrets over the 2022 unfortunate flooding which affected all the pumping machines and electricity supply, disrupting the supply of potable water to residents of Lokoja Metropolis.<\/p>\n
\n
He said: \u201cAs it stands, we are done with the repairs and configuration of the pumping machines and tested them.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s left for us is the mounting of one of the two 500KVA Transformer that will power the machines once connected.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\u201cOnce we succeed in mounting that transformer today (Tuesday) or tomorrow, Wednesday, water will start rushing in homes of residents of Lokoja.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThis is a sure promise this week.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cWe have also discussed with the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company for steady supply of electricity that could power the pumping machines for constant water supply to our people.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThanks to our caring Governor Yahaya Bello, who has given the needed funds toward the restoration of water supply to Lokoja as we have in stock enough chemicals to treat the water for quite some time.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cAs part of precautions and remedies for any eventual flood this year, considering NiMet early warning, we are mounting the transformer on top of a Special C & C Pole that no matter the flood, it can\u2019t reach it to cause any disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
The Commissioner further disclosed that he had discovered an outlet through which flooding water around the pumping machines could flow out, such that \u201cflood won\u2019t be a threat to the machines anyone.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cAs we apologise for the inconveniences caused, we<\/a> are assuring the general public that by God\u2019s grace, pumping of potable water to the residents of Lokoja will commence this very week to arrest the untold hardships being faced.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kogi State Government has said all is set for the restoration of pumping of potable water to…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1072,34,38],"class_list":{"0":"post-6927","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-abdulmumuni-danga","8":"tag-kogi","9":"tag-lokoja"},"yoast_head":"\nWe Shall Restore Water Supply to Lokoja Soon \u2013 Kogi -
