UNILORIN students reconstruct Kwara borehole
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.
The President of the Adult and Primary Education Students’ Association, Unilorin, Mr Oladejo Abiodun, told newsmen on Sunday that the project was a fieldwork and community development intervention project.
He revealed that the project was embarked upon to expose the students to the practical aspects of community development being taught in class.
“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,” he said.
According to him, the class was grouped during the quest for the community intervention project, and some members of the class went to search for areas in need of urgent attention.
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.
Responding, the Chief Imam of Tanke Oke-Odo, Alhaji Umar Salaudeen, appreciated the intervention of the students, whom he described as focused and promising leaders.
Salaudeen prayed for the continuous progress and development of the university and solicited more support for the community.
