The Federal Capital Territory Water Board on Sunday said the outbreak of cholera in the territory had nothing to do with the board. The board’s acting General Manager, Dr Joy Okoro, said this while speaking with journalists in Abuja. Recall that the acting Secretary, FCT Health and Human Services Secretariat, Dr Mohammed Kawu, said last week that 91 suspected cases had so far been recorded in the FCT, adding that seven deaths were recorded. “So, we are assuring all of them that our water is very pure, very good for drinking and very potable. “We have all the chemicals for water treatment and we do carry out water treatment judiciously, so as to serve our customers best quality water.
