The Abia State Government has announced the postponement of the official launch of the Abia State Integrated Wash Accelerated Programme and the flag-off of the rehabilitation of the Aba Regional Water Scheme.
Originally slated for Tuesday, 15th July 2025, the events will now hold on Wednesday, 16th July 2025.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, explained that the rescheduling became necessary following the public holiday declared by the Federal Government in honour of the late former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari, who is to be laid to rest tomorrow.
“The postponement is as a result of the Public Holiday declared by the Federal Government in honour of the late former President”, Ekeoma stated, adding that the government deeply regrets any inconvenience the shift in date may cause members of the public and other stakeholders.
The AIWAP initiative and the rehabilitation of the Aba Regional Water Scheme are part of Governor Alex Otti’s efforts to restore potable water supply for domestic and industrial use in Aba, Umuahia, and other parts of the state.
He urged all invited guests, stakeholders and residents to take note of the new date and remain assured of the States commitment to delivering on its promise of sustainable water supply and improved sanitation across Abia State.
