The  Ibadan Descendants’ Union (IDU),  Dallas Forthworth Chapter, Texas, United States of America, will inaugurate 22 solar-powered boreholes across  Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, today.

The inauguration of the boreholes, which were sunk under the association’s ‘Ibadan Community Water Project’, will be performed at a ceremony that will take place at Irefin Palace, Oloofa Compound, Oke-Ofa, Ibadan, by 10am.

The president of IDU,  Dallas Forthworth, Mr Shola Bolomope, said the president-general of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), Chief Ajeniyi Ajewole, would perform the inauguration of the projects while a former CCII president-general and grand patron of the Ibadan Descendants’ Union, USA Inc., Chief Bayo Oyero, would chair the occasion. 

According to Bolomope, the Ajia Olubadan of Ibadanland, Chief Abiola Iyiola, who is also the national president of IDU-USA, is already in  Ibadan leading other members of the union from the United States “to witness the historic event.”

Educated individuals become agents of change, driving progress and innovation in their societies. By nurturing a culture of learning, underserved communities can break free from cycles of poverty, reduce crime rates, and contribute positively to economic development.

Dear IDU family members, as we prepare for another historic event coming up in Ibadan on Saturday, my heart is filled with joy and gratitude, and I want to once again thank all of you for your tremendous support.

Let’s not forget that about this same time last year, we were also in Ibadan empowering many among the numerous less privileged with the second phase of our Ibadan Family Empowerment (IFE) project.

I’m just overwhelmed when I hear testimonies from some of those people we gave 50,000 Naira ( about $35) about how we have changed their lives. Olorun Eledumare ni kan lo le san yin ni esan rere o .

I just stumbled on some NEVER BEFORE SEEN videos from that last year event for us to remember
