Sources say portable water has eluded the one of the people of Ogu-Ama for three decades as they fetch drinking water from the polluted river, well or when it rains.
It was jubilation as elders, women and youths all trooped out to drink from the borehole. They also thanked Hon. Johnson Diete Azibato for carrying out such people-oriented project.
Quizzed on why he embarked on the project, Hon Johnson simply explained that portable water is what the community has always wanted.
“It wasn’t easy carrying out such project, bringing material to the location was a very difficult task but I told myself this must be done. How can a community like this not have borehole for over 30 years, am happy that I achieved this, am happy that the community people are happy” he said.
