An Austrian company, WANDE NEXUS and the Enugu State government have signed an agreement to implement the Sustainable Last Mile Connectivity and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Project in Enugu.
$100 million is to inject as Foreign Direct Investment to modernize water infrastructure, improve service delivery and ensure equitable access to clean water for all households in Enugu city.
The agreement was signed at the Government House, Enugu, in the presence of the Austrian Ambassador to Nigeria, Thomas Schlesinger.
According to Governor Peter Mbah, his administration was able to increase water production from two million litres to 120 million litres, explained that the biggest challenge was in expanding the network and connecting the tertiary pipelines to the various homes.
“For the record, this is not a case where we are just signing an agreement that is exploratory. This is an agreement we signed today for the funds to begin to flow. This is a discussion that started eight months ago. From signing an MoU, to Terms Sheet, to getting a Concession Agreement, today we are signing the final agreement and we expect that the investment funds will start to flow immediately, as they should have started with the connectivity to the last mile, and the procurement of the metres will commence,” he said.
