The leader of the World Bank team on the water project, Mr Pier Mantovani stated this when he led a delegation to the Governor’s Office in Ado Ekiti on Thursday.

Mr Mantovani said that state government would contribute $5 million as counterpart fund towards the project and such project, if fully completed, would give people access to portable water.
