Some of the villagers, Temitope Mustafa, Muritala Yusuf and Zulaykoh Jamiu, said basic amenities were not a luxury, but a necessity, calling for improved infrastructure necessary for their wellbeing and the continued prosperity of their community. Zulaykoh, a housewife, lamented that despite the importance of Igbotele to the local economy, the village was deprived of essential social amenities.
She said, “The lack of potable water makes life challenging for us in this village, hindering our ability to thrive and sustain our contribution to the state’s agricultural output.” Muritala, who is the imam of the village, said, “It took the intervention of the Osun State Community and Social Development Agency to bring some relief to Igbotele village by constructing a borehole to tackle the persistent water scarcity. “This long-awaited project has been the lifeline for the villagers who have struggled for years without access to potable water.
The borehole now provides the much-needed water for daily use, offering a glimpse of hope in our community which is still yearning for more comprehensive development and infrastructure.” Mustafa, a.
