Awolola also appreciated Ani and the CSDA team for turning the governor’s assurance into reality within such “a remarkably short period”.
“The interventions have not only addressed challenges that persisted for years but they also reaffirmed the Mbah administration’s determination to translate promises into visible development,” she said.
In his own remarks, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Hon. Lloyd Ekweremadu, eulogized Gov. Mbah for his unending love and maximum support to the NYSC Camp since he assumed office as governor.
“Through CSDA, His Excellency Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has once again demonstrated that purposeful leadership is measured by the positive difference it makes in the lives of the people,” he said.
The commissioning followed the official swearing-in ceremony of 2,200 newly deployed corps members, which Ani witnessed and gave a resounding speech.
The borehole project is powered by solar energy, providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution to water production, while reducing dependence on generators and the recurring burden of fuel expenses.
