Opeyemi Bello

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has again reeled out the resolve of his administration to better the lot  of the people of Osun state more than they have ever experienced since the creation of the  over 30 year old state .

 In a manner akin to making more commitment to make Osun the envy and pride of all and sundry, the Governor added that unexpected  meaningful developments like no other are in the offing for the people.

Governor Adeleke made these  known while commissioning a new water project at Irepodun/ Alusekere Community, Ede, a project which was  facilitated by Osun Community and Social Development Agency,  CSDA (DLI 1.4).

The Secretary to the Osun State Government Alhaji Teslim Igbalaye who represented Governor  Adeleke declared that Osun is inching gradually towards greatness in line with the mission and vision of its founding fathers. 

Describing water as very important in the day to day affairs of people, Governor Adeleke  maintained that his administration will not leave any stone unturned to make it available to all  communities as he stressed that water is not only good but essential for people  to stay physically healthy and insulated from all diseases. 
      
The Governor speaks further  "Another important factor to note is that poverty and lack of clean water go hand – in - hand and a key component to eliminating poverty is having access to safe water". 

"When water supplies are improved and sustainable, it significantly enhances community economic growth and reduces poverty. Women and children who often spend hours every day searching for water which inhibits women from working to generate livelihood as well as reducing children’s time for education can start using their time for productive ventures, as clean, portable and drinkable water is now within their reach". 

 Earlier, the General Manager, Osun State Community and Social Development Agency, Mrs. Aderonke Funmi Abokede lauded   Governor  Adeleke for initiating the water project across the State aimed at  serving  the Osun people.

Mrs. Abokede particularly  expressed gratitude to the  Governor for the funding and creating an enabling environment for the completion of that project.

In his own remarks, Head of Local government Administration, Ede North Local Government Area, Alhaji. Isiaka Olawanle Ayantoye also applauded the administration of Senator Ademola Adeleke and Osun CSDA for  making life  meaningful for  the good people of Osun through the  provision of  basic amenities to the people.

Olawanle urged  people living in Irepodun/ Alusekere community to reciprocate the gesture by constantly  ensuring  proper and adequate maintenance of the project.
