Sen. Nicholas Tofowomo, representing Ondo South in the National Assembly has constructed no fewer than eight solar-powered boreholes across rural communities within his senatorial district.<\/p>\n
The lawmaker disclosed in a statement issued by his Media Aide, Mr Olumide Akinrinlola, on Monday in Okitipupa.<\/p>\n
According to Tofowomo, the projects which began simultaneously in communities in three out of six local government areas of Ile Oluji\/Okeigbo, Odigbo and Irele, would be inaugurated soon.<\/p>\n
He said that four boreholes were constructed in Ore and Agbabu communities in Odigbo council area, two in Ile-Oluji town in Ile-Oluji\/Oke-Igbo LGA, with the other two in Akotogbo and Otu communities and Irele LGA.<\/p>\n
The lawmaker said that the gesture was aimed at providing potable water for rural dwellers, where there was very little or no access to electricity.<\/p>\n
He added that it would also relieve the people from spending money on fuel to power generators to pump water where boreholes were available.<\/p>\n
Tofowomo said that the second phase of the project would commence in communities in the remaining three council areas of Okitipupa, Ilaje and Ese-Odo.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a bid to bring succour to our constituents, we have completed three solar-powered boreholes in three rural areas in three LGAs, which is the first phase and which will be inaugurated soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe gesture is to provide potable water for rural dwellers and relieve them of the stress of having to fuel their generators to pump water.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will also begin construction of other projects in the three council areas, which will be the second phase, for more constituents to enjoy dividends of democracy,\u201d Tofowomo said.<\/p>\n
He, however, said that the constituents would be notified of the beneficiary communities in the other three council areas as soon as the contractors that would handle the projects were ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
