During the engagement, Dr. Onoh highlighted the pressing developmental needs of communities across Enugu North, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to ensuring that more residents benefit from the Agency’s people-oriented programmes, particularly in the provision of potable water, sanitation facilities and other essential social infrastructure that directly impact public health, living standards and socioeconomic well-being.

The Council Chairman lauded the CSDA for its distinctive approach to community development and its proactive efforts in delivering people-centred interventions. He further identified and presented strategic communities in Enugu North for possible consideration under the NG-CARES delivery platform, underscoring the importance of community-driven initiatives in addressing local challenges and promoting sustainable development.

Dr. Onoh emphasised the need to strengthen the reach of government programmes, particularly in underserved communities, through targeted interventions that guarantee access to basic amenities, improve living conditions and enhance the welfare of residents.

In his response, the General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of CSDA, Hon. Monday Diamond Ani, reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to delivering impactful and sustainable community-based projects in line with the development vision of the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.

Hon. Ani stressed the importance of strategic partnerships with local government authorities in identifying priority needs, facilitating effective project implementation and ensuring that development interventions translate into tangible benefits for the people.

The engagement further underscored the critical role of institutional collaboration between the CSDA and local government councils in accelerating grassroots development, strengthening service delivery and expanding access to essential social infrastructure.

Through the NG-CARES programme, the Agency continues to advance its commitment to improving access to basic social services and ensuring that communities across Enugu State benefit from targeted government interventions.

The visit reflects a shared commitment by the Enugu North Local Government Council and the CSDA to promote inclusive development, address critical community needs and support the Enugu State Government’s vision of equitable growth and sustainable development, with no community left behind.
