…bridging infrastructure gaps for sustainable growth in Delta north
Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North in the National Assembly, is making significant strides in rural development through the provision of solar-powered boreholes and street lights in various communities.
His initiative addresses key challenges, including access to clean water, reliable energy, and public safety, improving the quality of life for many underserved populations.
Empowering Communities with Solar-Powered Boreholes
Recognizing the scarcity of clean water in many rural areas, Senator Nwoko has installed solar-powered boreholes that operate independently of the national grid.
These systems ensure a consistent water supply, reducing reliance on unsafe sources and preventing waterborne diseases.
By utilizing solar energy, the boreholes offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution, eliminating the need for expensive and unreliable electricity-powered water systems.
This initiative promotes health, economic development, and self-sufficiency within the benefiting communities.
Enhancing Security and Economic Growth with Solar Street Lights
Lack of proper street lighting remains a major issue in rural areas, leading to insecurity, crime, and accidents.
To combat this, Nwoko has facilitated the installation of solar-powered street lights, providing continuous and sustainable illumination without dependence on the national grid.
These lights reduce crime, improve road safety, and extend business hours for local traders, contributing to economic growth and social development.
With minimal maintenance costs and long-term efficiency, solar street lights serve as a durable and cost-effective solution for rural infrastructure challenges.
A Commitment to Sustainable Development
Senator Nwoko’s efforts align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in clean water (SDG 6), affordable energy (SDG 7), and sustainable communities (SDG 11).
His vision for sustainable and technology-driven development underscores his dedication to bridging the infrastructure gap in Delta North.
Communities already benefiting from these projects include Umunede in Ika North East, Idumuje-Ugboko in Aniocha North, and Umusadege along Kwale-Ozoro Road in Ndokwa West.
More locations have been earmarked for similar projects in the coming months, reinforcing Nwoko’s commitment to improving rural infrastructure and enhancing the lives of his constituents.
