The Chinese government will provide for the entire cost of implementing the afe drinking water supply project in Oyo city, 550km north of Brazzaville, estimated at FCFA2.3 billion, PANA reported from the Congolese capital Friday.
The agreement on the project was signed in Brazzaville by the Congolese Minister of Energy and Water, Bruno Jean Richard Itoua, and the Chinese Ambassador to Congo, Li-Shu Li.
Work on the project started last a year and will be implemented by Chinese company Zheing Wei Technic.

”The project should help improve significantly the water supply in Oyo, thanks to our partners,” he said.
