During the discussions, Senator Nwoko highlighted two critical dam projects in Delta State—the Ogwashi-Uku Dam and the Amukpe Dam.

He explained that these dams, when completed, will have a transformative impact on the region.

The Ogwashi-Uku Dam, he noted, will provide vital water resources to over 60 communities in the senatorial district, boosting agriculture and water supply. Similarly, the Amukpe Dam will play a pivotal role in supporting irrigation and improving access to clean water for nearby communities, contributing significantly to socio-economic development.

He reiterated his commitment to ensuring that the dams are adequately funded and executed to meet the needs of the people.

Mr. Femi Adekanbi expressed gratitude for Senator Nwoko’s dedication to the development of Delta North. He provided updates on the progress of both dams and other ongoing projects, pledging that the Authority would prioritize their completion.
