As part of efforts to tackle the problem of lack of portable water in Ikire, the headquarters of Irewole Local Government Area of Osun State, a philanthropist, Alhaji Ibrahim Inaolaji, has provided two boreholes at Oke-Ada area and along Ife-Ibadan expressway for use of the community members.
Presenting the boreholes to the people, the donor said provision of good water is a recipe for healthy living and cleanliness in Nigeria
“Water is an essential nutrient to human cell. Each of these two boreholes is capable of producing 5,000 litters of water per hour. Each of them would work for six hours daily and produce 30,000 litters. I’m sure that the 60,000 liters of water from these two boreholes would conveniently serve a minimum of 1000 people daily,” he said.
Director of Osun State Investment Company, Alhaji Bola Oyebamiji, who represented Governor Rauf Aregbesola during the presentation of  the boreholes, commended  the donor for his gesture and urged the beneficiaries to ensure proper maintenance of the water boreholes.
A resident of Oke Ada, Mrs. Oyelanke Odunlami, commended the philanthropist for  the gesture, saying the development would go a long way to end the perennial scarcity of water in the area.
