No fewer than 62 communities and 114,000 vulnerable across the 20 Local Government Areas in Ogun State have benefited from micro-projects, which were jointly funded by the Federal and State Governments, in collaboration with the World Bank, under the NG-CARES initiative, which began in 2021 in the state.
The Acting General Manager, Ogun State Community and Social Development Agency (CSDA), Mr. Abdur Rahaman Adelaja, revealed this while fielding questions from journalists in Abeokuta, saying that the projects cut across Education, Health and Water Resources
He explained that, the projects were sectoral in nature, as each community determines the choice of their project through Participatory Rural Appraisal, in line with the NG-CARES laid down guidelines.
Adelaja stated that "each community earned nothing less than N9.m for the execution of the micro project in their various communities" to enable people have access to basic services, social amenities as well as potable water supply, to reduce high risk of infection from waterborne diseases.
The benefiting communities were Kajola in Ewekoro, Opo in Ifo, Soseri, Ajebo Town in Obafemi Owode, Itesi Ajabe in Odeda, Odo Otun and Idomila in Ijebu North East, Ayepe in Odogbolu, and Irolu in Ikenne Local Government.
Others are; Ayila and Alo in Ogun Water Side, Ipara in Remo North, Ewujomo and Soyinbo in Sagamu, Ado Odo in Ado-Odo/Ota, Afintedo and Alakuta in Imeko Afon, Ilujoda Iboro in Yewa North, Ilobi Erinja and Ipake in Yewa South, Terelu in Ijebu East, Ifelodun Olomore in Abeokuta North and Ojowo-Odo Isembadejo in Ijebu North, among others.
