Following the resolution of the Oriire bandits issue the Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, will today, Thursday 23rd July 2026, begin the good works he had started since coming on board.

Today, he will commission a new set of borehole projects at Lagbedu, Pontela, Otamokun and Opete communities in Ogo-Oluwa local government area.

Recall that immediately after his installation on September 8th, 2023, Oba Olaoye expressed his determination among others to facilitate provision of potable water in his domain. The project was almost completed when people suspected to be saboteurs vandalized the place even though water has started flowing.

Subsequently, the Oba switched to provision of boreholes.

Record shows that 15 manual boreholes in Ogbomoso South, 4 in Ogbomoso North, 1 in Surulere local and 1in Oriire government were provided in the first phase.

Equally, 5 motorized boreholes were already commissioned in Ogo-Oluwa, 4 in Surulere, and 2 in Oriire local government.

Meanwhile, work will soon resume again on the pipeborne water in Ogbomoso in conjunction with the Oyo State Water Corporation.
