He said the project aims to reduce the untold hardship faced by the community in accessing portable water and that the commissioning was also taking place during Nigeria\u2019s 59th Independence Anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n
He said the Nigerian Company (NIGCOY) 4 Ecomig arrived in the Gambia on 23th March 2018 under the auspices of ECOWAS mission to assist in Gambia\u2019s defense and security to provide peace and security for her people.<\/p>\n

Alhagie Jobe the \u2018Kabilo\u2019 head in his remarks said the commissioned borehole and water reservoir was very timely for the communities of Bafuloto and Medina Nem Su. Jobe said many of the people in the community and surroundings had serious water issues before the coming of the borehole; that they used to fetch water from uncovered wells for so many years.<\/p>\n
But that thanks to the Nigerian Ecomig contingent, the community of Bafuloto and Medina Nema Su can now heave a sigh of relief for getting access to portable water. They promise the Nigerian Ecomig Contingent Commander that they will take good care of the borehole through regular maintenance so that it can serve them longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
