Ojuawo Commences Borehole Repairs Across His Constituency.

As part of proactive measures ahead of the approaching dry season, Hon. (AVM Rtd.) Ojuawo Rufus Adeniyi, the Honourable Member representing Ekiti South Federal Constituency I in the House of Representatives, has commenced a wide-scale rehabilitation of boreholes across rural communities in his constituency.

Already, three facilities in Igbara-Odo Ekiti have been fully repaired and restored to use, while several others are currently undergoing repairs across different wards. Just last month, a long-abandoned borehole at Kajola in Ise Ekiti was rehabilitated. The facility was not only restored but also reticulated to a distance of about 300 meters from the pump to ease access and serve the domestic needs of residents more effectively.

Hon. Ojuawo explained that the borehole rehabilitation initiative is a deliberate intervention to reduce the hardship rural dwellers face in sourcing clean and safe water, especially during the dry season when scarcity is most severe.

 “I found it very necessary to embark on this exercise to prevent both scarcity and the outbreak of water-borne diseases, which often arise from reliance on unclean sources during the dry season. Water is life, and no community can thrive without it. I therefore implore residents to take ownership of these facilities, maintain them responsibly, and avoid misuse of the pumps. Prevention is always better than cure,” he stated.

The lawmaker further assured that he would continue to address the critical challenges confronting his constituents, particularly those at the grassroots level. He stressed that access to potable water remains a basic need that must not be overlooked.

“I remain committed to practical projects that directly touch the lives of my people. Water is not just essential; it is indispensable, and I will not relent in ensuring that our communities are not deprived of this necessity,” Hon. Ojuawo added.

This initiative reflects his ongoing efforts to provide sustainable solutions to everyday challenges faced by rural dwellers in Ekiti South Federal Constituency I, ensuring that the people are better prepared for the dry season.
