Eni, through its Nigerian subsidiaries Agip Exploration (NAE) and Agip Energy & Natural Resources (AENR), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have delivered 11 water plants in the states of Borno and Yobo, in northeastern Nigeria.
The integrated systems – consisting of wells, photovoltaic panels, treatment systems and withdrawal points – provide water for domestic consumption and for irrigation. They were built as part of the “Access to Water” initiative implemented by FAO and Eni, in collaboration with Eni’s partner, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The public-private partnership leverages the skills and know-how of the parties to facilitate access to water by communities affected by the humanitarian crisis in the north-east of the country.
