Edo state Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole recently commissioned  a brand new 2,500-metre capacity water borehole drilling rig  acquired by the state government at Agbede in Etsako West Local Government Area with a promise to use the resources of the state for the people’s welfare.

Oshiomhole said the new facility which has the capacity to crack through rock would ensure potable water across the state.

He said “My business is to make things happen and not to lament. I have directed them to locate the borehole which will have an overhead tank to the heart of the city around the palace from where the water will be distributed to other parts of the town. From there it can be distributed to the North, East, South and to the West of Agbede and that way everybody will have water.

“When they finish distributing the water, and those who can afford it will pipe it to their houses and the drilling rig will move to Avwain, Jagbe and Aviele, to provide water for these communities, we want to do it quickly before the rain starts. Today we are demonstrating that these communities will now have water,” he noted.
