Speaking on the second phase of the project , Tofowomo said that the second phase will commence in communities in the remaining three council areas of Okitipupa, Ilaje, and Ese-Odo.
“In 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.
“The gesture is to provide potable water for rural dwellers and relieve them of the stress of having to fuel their generators to pump water,” NAN quoted him as saying.
“We 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.”
