An aide to the Senate
President, Victor Abang, has commended the Federal Government for building the 140-hectare Buya-Kakwagom Dam (Kuan Dam) in Kakwogom, Cross River.
Abang, Special Assistant, Public Affairs Office of the Senate President, made the commendation in an interview with newsmen in Kakwagom.
He spoke on the sidelines of a reception organised by the community in honour of the Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, who was on an inspection tour of projects in the senatorial district.
Abang said that when completed, the N747.9 million hydro-electric power generating dam, would improve the living standard of the residents of Boki local government area of the state.
He said: “I am from Boki and have been privileged to see these projects on paper. “This tour is very revealing because it has gone further to dispel the rumour and lies told about this project before now”.
He also lauded the efforts of Ndoma-Egba who represents Cross River Central in the Senate, noting that he attracted the project to the area.
