The projects are targeted at addressing and cushioning the effects of water scarcity in different communities in Ibarapa East State Constituency
The water boreholes are sited at Isale-Oba Eruwa, Sangote Eruwa, Temidire Village, Abule Meje and Oke-Ola in new Eruwa, Small London, Aborisade Village, Ilado Village and Agasha Lanlate.

Each borehole will be powered by a new power generating set.
The Speaker, Hon Adebo Ogundoyin while touring the project sites, said that the boreholes were sunk at strategic locations to ensure Eruwa and Lanlate towns have access to clean and safe water.
“I am happy and fulfilled as we have been able to complete the sinking of 15 water boreholes across communities in Ibarapa East State Constituency. I also facilitated another 7 for the benefit of our people. This is in line with my resolve to safe our people from water related diseases. Water they say is life and it is the first source of nutrition for human beings. Access to good water sources no doubt improves the health and lifestyle of the people hence my decision to embark on these projects. Our women and children are going to have a huge relief as they are the ones who usually bear the brunt of going about every time in search of water” The Speaker said
He explained that the borehole projects will have long term benefits for the various communities.
The Speaker appealed to the benefitting communities to ensure adequate maintenance of all the projects.
“This is just another project I embarked on in my Constituency. Recall that recently, His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde during his campaign rally in Eruwa commissioned the Eruwa Youth Movement, EYM Secretariat which I completed. This is aside from a well furnished Primary Health Care Centre I built at Lagaye, a mosque I built for the Oloro community as demanded, a cold room for butchers at the New Garage Abattoir and the solar powered street lights that adorn our street at Aborerin.
“So far, we have been able to buy and distribute not less than 60 brand new motorcycles. 15 were presented to indigenous security agencies in Ibarapaland in the wake of the security crises that enveloped the zone while others were distributed to constituents in Eruwa and Lanlate towns. I had earlier given out not less than 20 Generating Sets, 15 Deep Freezers and supported our people’s businesses with cash. There’s an ongoing construction of a block of classrooms each at Temidire and Ojonamo, distribution of educational materials to Primary and Secondary School students as well as purchase of JAMB and WAEC forms for students. All these are part of my education support programs geared towards enhancing and promoting learning at all levels amongst the students. May I also hint that over 500 students of Ibarapa East descent have benefitted from my bursary program.” Oyo Speaker added.
He stated that he is seeking reelection come March 11, 2023 to enable him continue with all the lofty projects he has designed for the benefit of the people.
