In a significant boost to public infrastructure, the Executive Chairman of Gwer West Local Government Area, Ormin Torsar Victor, has officially declared open the historic Water Reticulation Project in Naka Town, the headquarters of the local government.
The project, which forms part of the greater Naka water projects commissioned by Benue State Governor, His Excellency Hyacinth Iormem Alia, marks the beginning of pipe-laying works across 21 strategic locations in the area. According to the chairman, the initiative is a bold and deliberate step aimed at delivering clean, safe, and reliable water directly to residents, tackling long-standing water scarcity and significantly improving public health and overall quality of life.
Describing the project as more than just infrastructure, Ormin Torsar Victor said it reflects the administration’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the health, dignity, and daily lives of every resident in Gwer West. He emphasised that the intervention is designed to ensure equitable access to clean water while strengthening grassroots development across communities.
“The laying of pipes across these 21 locations is only the beginning of a broader vision to guarantee sustainable and inclusive water supply for all communities within our Local Government Area,” he stated. The chairman reaffirmed his full commitment to delivering people-oriented projects that directly impact livelihoods and drive meaningful development at the grassroots level.
He further described access to clean water as a fundamental right rather than a privilege, pledging that his administration will continue working tirelessly to ensure every household in Naka Town and beyond benefits from the transformative initiative.
Ormin Torsar Victor expressed deep appreciation to Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia, referred to as the “Asor Tar” u Tiv, for his continued support and encouragement in making what was once considered impossible a reality.
The development has been welcomed by residents as a major milestone in addressing water challenges in the region.
