In a bid to address the persistent challenge of water scarcity, renowned philanthropist Alhaji Ahmed Ibrahim, has donated a modern borehole to the people of Adavi Ebe community in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The project is aimed at ensuring residents have access to clean and safe water within their locality.
Speaking during the commissioning of the project, Alhaji Ibrahim, reaffirmed his commitment to community development, noting that water supply remains one of his top priorities.
“Access to clean water is a basic necessity, not a luxury. My goal is to ensure that the issue of water scarcity becomes a thing of the past for the people of Adavi,” he said.
He emphasised that true leadership is about service and empathy, stressing that a good leader must always respond to the immediate needs of the people.
Alhaji Ahmed also assured residents that his doors remain open to everyone who seeks support for meaningful development initiatives.
Reacting to the gesture, Mallam Kamar Usman, a resident of Adavi Ebe community, expressed deep appreciation for the donation.
“The borehole is strategically located at a central point, making it easily accessible to everyone in the community,” he noted. “Before now, many of us had to walk long distances to fetch water. This project has brought real relief to our daily lives.”
