Ooni of Ife’s wife commissions boreholes for market men, women

Queen Temitope Ogunwusi, the new wife of Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, has ordered the construction of two boreholes for the use of market vendors in the main Ile-Ife marketplaces.

The two boreholes at Oja-Tuntu, Odo-Ogbe Area were officially opened on Friday in Ile-Ife by Queen Ogunwusi, the Deputy Convener of the Hope Alive Initiative (HAI).

Queen Ogunwusi thanked Oba Ogunwusi for allowing her to fulfil God's purpose for her life, acknowledging the value of water to human society.

She asserted that she was chosen by God to help those who were less fortunate and that her work did not only involve orphanages but also included several water projects.

“I think that we must commend the humanitarian heart of our father, the Ooni of Ife for making this to happen, for he’s a lover of all his subjects and indeed the Yoruba race, ” she stated.

The queen admonished the people of the market to use the water judiciously and ensure they properly maintain the boreholes for effective use.

 She added that she strongly believed that the boreholes would add value to the businesses of all the stakeholders in the market.

Earlier, the Father of Ooni of Ife, Prince Ropo Ogunwusi, appreciated his son, Oba Ogunwusi and his queen for making the provision for the portable water.

Otun Babaloja of Odo-Ogbe, Chief Olaoluwa Odeyemi, who spoke on behalf of market men and women, thanked Ooni and his queen for showing compassion by giving them the two boreholes.

Odeyemi pledged that they would use the water for the benefit of all and sundry.

Among the dignitaries that graced the occasion were: the Ooni’s father, Prince Ropo Ogunwusi, the Elerefe of Erefe, Oba Mayowa Fayemi, Agbolu of Agbaje-Ife, Oba Adekunle Adebowa
