Residents Of Oke-Ibu, Oke-Aredi And Ewu-Regun Chant Song Of Praises As RIDSCo Facilitate Projects To Their Communities

The residents of Oke Aredi community in Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State have lauded the Royal Initiative for the Development of Sagamu Community (RIDSCo) for the donation of Borehole water complete with other accessories including a brand new generator.

The Baale of Oke Aredi ably represented by the CDA Secretary, in his remarks during the commissioning of the project, said; the residents of the community have been craving for public potable water for years as they relied mostly on water from the private residences.

He said the donation would go a long way in helping the community and its environs, adding that it’s a good development from the benefactor after several unfulfilled promises by politicians during electioneering when they come to canvass for votes.

“We were very grateful to the management of Lafarge Africa Plc in collaboration with RIDSCo for the donation because this is a good project provided for us, and the community will forever be grateful to them. RIDSCo is a God-sent to this community by facilitating this borehole and powering it with a sound cool generator. No government has ever done this for us, not even when we needed transformer, which we contributed money to get it done. We really appreciate this gesture, the CDA Secretary said.”

In his remarks, RIDSCo Chairman, Olootu Omoba M.O. Oyedele said, we considered Oke-Aredi community for our next project because we discovered that the residents needed it more than any community at the time of request.
