She commended TotalEnergies, NNPC and partners, for the project and promised that it would be maximally used and properly maintained.

In her speech, the General Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility, TotalEnergies EP Nigeria, Mrs Kenechi Esomeju, who joined through zoom, said that the project was borne out of the need to bridge the gap in maternal and child health, access to clean water, women empowerment and education, in line with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals' target.

The Chief Medical Director of General Hospital, Onitsha, Dr Ebelechukwu Anugwu, in her remarks, explained that the state government's transparent and accommodating health policies have continued to attract development partners.
