State.
The facility which is situated within Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, was
formally unveiled, at a special commissioning event, by the Deputy Governor

also attended by other key stakeholders including: the Acting Consular
General of the United States Consulate, Mrs. Dehab Ghebreab,
representatives of Water Health International and members of Adigbe
community.

purification process to remove organic matter, excess chlorine, bad taste,
dirt, unwanted materials, dissolved inorganic solids, disease carrying bacteria
and pathogens etc. The facility is capable of providing 2700 litres of
clean water hourly.
Speaking at the event, the Corporate Relations Director, Guinness Nigeria
Plc, Mr. Sesan Sobowale said the construction of the facility is in
furtherance of Guinness Nigeria’s commitment to helping Nigerians access
clean drinking water. He said: Many Nigerians still do not have access to
clean drinking water; in response to this situation, we have leveraged our
flagship “Water of Life” programme to increase the number of Nigerians who
have access to clean and safe water.
“Under the aegis of the ‘Water of Life’ programme, Guinness Nigeria has so
far constructed water facilities in 22 communities across 14 states of the
country. We are pleased to note that through these water projects, we have
helped thousands of Nigerian families access clean water, and ultimately
improve their overall health and wellbeing”.
Also speaking at the event, the Governor of Ogun state, represented by his
deputy, Mrs Yetunde Onanuga praised Guinness Nigeria for implementing
impactful programmes that help address the challenge of water shortage in
Nigeria. She noted that the construction of the water facility exemplifies
the positive results derivable from collaborations between corporate
organisations and their host communities.
She said: “I congratulate Guinness Nigeria for its impressive sense of
corporate responsibility in building this water scheme for our community.
It is without a doubt, a project that will go a long way in addressing one
of the crucial needs of our community. The people of Adigbe will never
forget Guinness
“Other corporate organizations should emulate Guinness Nigeria by making
impactful contributions that enhance the wellbeing of communities through
meaningful, result-oriented projects”.
The ultra-modern water facility Guinness Nigeria constructed in Adigbe -
the company’s third in Ogun State – was implemented in partnership with
Water Health International, an international organization that provides

partnership between Guinness Nigeria and Water Health International will
