A long abandoned borehole facility at Abibemori Compound, Agugu, Ibadan, has been renovated and commissioned by Hon. Abiola Akinloye, providing much-needed access to clean water for residents of the area.
The water facility, located behind the Islamic Primary School in Agugu, had been in a state of disrepair until Hon. Akinloye’s timely intervention.
According to Mr. Dauda Ajani, Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Ward 9, the lawmaker was informed about the breakdown last Thursday. He immediately visited the site, ordered renovation works, and ensured the facility was fully restored within just three days.
“This swift response demonstrates Hon. Akinloye’s unwavering commitment to the community’s welfare, and it deserves commendation,” Mr. Ajani remarked during the commissioning ceremony.
Hon. Akinloye, in his address, stated that the renovation was part of his continued efforts to address the basic needs of his constituents. He emphasized that the initiative was directly inspired by the concerns raised by residents during his community outreach programs. The renovated borehole is expected to serve a significant number of households in the Islamic Agugu area, providing a reliable source of clean and safe drinking water.
Leader of the House in the Ibadan North East Legislative Council, Hon. Abdulmajeed Adekola Igbalajobi, lauded the intervention, urging residents to take proper care of the facility to ensure its longevity.
Also speaking at the event, Hon. Sola Owolabi, Member of the Oyo State House of Assembly, commended the lawmaker’s commitment to improving the quality of life for the people and called for the judicious use of the borehole by the community.
Mogaji Aliu Abibemori, head of the Abibemori family compound, expressed profound gratitude to Hon. Akinloye for fully funding the renovation. He pledged his family’s continued support for the PDP and the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde.
In his remarks, the PDP Chairman for Ibadan North East Local Government, Alhaji Isiaka Fatokun Abuye, praised Hon. Akinloye’s swift action and the positive impact of the intervention on the local community. He also thanked the residents for their unwavering support for the PDP and Governor Makinde’s leadership.
