The Federal Ministry of Water Resources (FMWR), in collaboration with the Ogun State Government, have provided boreholes in 13 communities across nine Local Government Areas.
This is part of the efforts to make potable water available to people in rural communities, towards curtailing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The communities include Agedere, Aleke Okesopen, Ifo market, Abule Otun, Camp, Ilupeju Isokan Emere Titun, Omitutu Makun Sagamu, Mechanic village Ajebo road, Idi Scale Atikori, among others.
Commissioner for Rural Development, Engr. Taiwo Oludotun, while speaking at the handing over of the projects, on the sideline of a day training workshop for self-selected Water Sanitation and Hygiene Committee (WASHCOM) members, said access to safe water would enhance proper sanitation.
Oludotun added that the gesture would serve as a key intervention in achieving the response plan to curb the pandemic, saying the provision of the boreholes is in consonance with other palliative measures being put in place by the State government.
