Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony held on 09 December, Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa highlighted the project’s significance: “Clean water is a fundamental right, and today we bring that right to everyone in Ondo State. This project is central to our water and agricultural modernization efforts, forming the backbone of the State’s water supply and food security system, uplifting communities, creating jobs, improving health, and enabling prosperity in Ondo State.”
