Nigeria Allocates Cash for Warri Water Project

The Delta State Government in Nigeria has allocated N1.6bn ($10.6m) for the abandoned Africa Development Bank water scheme in Warri.

Completion of the water scheme is expected in 2010 and will provide potable water for Warri and the surrounding area, according to leadershipnigeria.com.

The Warri Water Project was originally funded by the ADB and was later taken up by the Delta Government in 1991.

So far, the semi-regional water scheme project has received N500m ($3.3m) from the previous government.
