Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said that the present lack of water supply being experienced in the Abuja City Centre and some satellite towns was due to a major rehabilitation of two of the four water treatment plants responsible for the production and supply of water to the residents.
The Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, in a statement on Sunday, said that water supply to the residents will be rationed for a period of two weeks, as only two water treatment plants will be in use, while the other two are undergoing rehabilitation.
He appealed to the residents to bear with the FCTA, assuring that rehabilitation of the two plants, which is to ensure better service delivery will be completed before two weeks.
The Minister also said that to mitigate the effects of the partial shutdown.
