Over 39 million naira worth of infrastructural projects have been handed over to Mmiata and Agba-egbu communities in Anambra West Local Government Area by Anambra State Value Chain Development Programme (VCDP).
The infrastructure include a cassava bulky centre with a solar powered borehole at Agba-egbu, and a solar powered borehole attached to market stores and stalls at Mmiata-Otupu market.
Speaking at the handing-over ceremony, the State Programme Coordinator of Anambra State VCDP, Mr E. N Agwuncha represented by VCDP procurement officer, Mrs Chika Agwaramgbo urged the communities to take full ownership and maintenance of the infrastructure.
The State Programme Coordinator also encouraged the Operation and Maintenance Committee (O&M) to practice maintenance culture to aid sustainability of the facilities.
Special Assistant to the governor on VCDP, Mr Obioma Mbanefo while inaugurating the Agba-egbu cassava bulky centre and the solar powered boreholes enjoined the communities to show appreciation to Government by making proper use of the facilities.
In a vote of thanks, the Cluster chairman, VCDP farmers Mr Chris Nwabueze commended FGN-VCDP and the State Government for the project sited in the community and promised that they would make judicious use of the installed facilities.
