The ancient town of Ankpa in Kogi State was agog as several constituency projects by the National Productivity Center were commissioned.
Two communities, Egula Oga and Ejema were the beneficiaries of the projects. The communities’ major problem had been lack of access to potable water. Community leaders’ plea to the state government concerning the plight of the people had often fallen on deaf ears.

The NPC’s intervention, therefore, came as a relief of untold dimensions as the people heaved a sigh of relief.
Attending the commissioning were the Director-General of the NPC, Dr Kashim Akor, Member of the Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Ibrahim Abdullahi Halims, Chairman of Ankpa Local Government Area, Hon Ibrahim Abagwu, community and traditional leaders, and other dignitaries.
The communities expressed their gratitude to the NPC and particularly the DG of the centre for the gesture and promised a judicious use of the facilities.
