The Republic of Somaliland, H.E Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro, on Sunday inaugurated the Berbera Water Supply and Expansion Project.
The President of the Republic of Somaliland and a large delegation he is leading on a working trip to the Sahil region, especially the city of Berbera, laid the foundation stone for the Berbera Water Expansion Project.
The event, which was also attended by some members of the cabinet, the leaders of Berbera municipality, the Sahil regional and district administrations and the Director of the Berbera Water Agency, highlighted the importance of the Berbera Water Expansion Project.
The Director of the Berbera Water Agency, Khadar Said Ahmed (Firiko), spoke at the venue and said that this project will greatly contribute to the water supply of the city of Berbera, since Berbera is a coastal city that needs a lot of water, and livestock exported likewise demand much of it.
The Minister of Water Development, Hon. Abubakar Abdirahman Good, explained the Berbera Water Expansion Project, and said that was solely being implemented by the government.
The Head of State praised the Ministry of Water and the Berbera Water Agency as he laid the foundation stone for the groundbreaking of the project, and called for its implementation to be swiftly expedited.
