Oando Plc and its Joint Venture, JV, partners, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC and Nigerian Agip Oil Company, NAOC,  have provided the over 5,000 residents of Agbere community in Bayelsa State with 20,000 litres capacity clean water scheme.

Speaking at the commissioning, representatives of the company, said: “The initiative is grounded on the fact that water is a fundamental human need. Each person requires at least 20 to 50 litres of clean, safe water daily for drinking, cooking, and simply keeping themselves clean. Sadly, today in Nigeria, there is an alarming dearth of access to clean water, and at Oando, we want to bridge this gap, especially in our host communities.

“The water scheme will drastically reduce deadly water-borne diseases in the community such as typhoid fever, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, to name a few.”
