In order to build at least 48 contemporary motorized boreholes and its accessories in the state’s Moro and Asa local government areas, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has pledged an additional N150 million.

The investment supports the administration’s ongoing efforts to provide state inhabitants with access to potable water.

Because of the state government’s kindness, the federal government has offered to build 20 solar boreholes—10 in each of the local government areas of Edu and Offa—to increase public access to water.

“This is just one of the findings from the budget review process this year. It is therefore worth informing the Kwara public that the government is committed to steadily meet their water needs in phases as our resources permit,” a statement quoted the Commissioner for Finance Hon. Florence Olasumbo Oyeyemi as saying.

“The spending on water aligns with His Excellency’s ongoing investments in Partnership for Expanded Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (PEWASH) and Open Defecation Free (ODF) campaign. These efforts are glaring and impactful, and we are making appreciable progress.”
