Speaking to OAU Peeps News Agency correspondent, the Vice President (Project) of the organization, Adepoju Adedamola said the water project was executed after due consultation with villagers who told her that portable water tops their priority. She said the project is one of the voluntary projects the organization execute to benefit humanity.
