UNILORIN Students Reconstruct Kwara Borehole

Cursory: 400 level students of the Adult Education Department of the University of Ilorin have reconstructed the abandoned borehole serving the Tanke Oke-Odo community of Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara.

Mr Oladejo Abiodun, The President of the Adult and Primary Education Students’ Association, Unilorin, and 400 level students of the Adult Education Department of the University of Ilorin have reconstructed the abandoned borehole serving the Tanke Oke-Odo community of Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara.

Abiodun stated that the project was a fieldwork and community development intervention project.

In his words:

“The project was identified as the immediate need of the community as well as an intervention project to address the community’s salient need for the revival of the borehole project.”

Abiodun added that the borehole, situated at the residence of the Chief Imam of the community, was abandoned for some years.

The team leader, however, stated that other community projects were discovered by the students, but they were not as pressing as that of the borehole project.

Chief Imam of Tanke Oke-Odo, Alhaji Umar Salaudeen, appreciated the intervention of the students, whom he described as focused and promising leaders.
