THE Nigerian winger who also plays for club NANTES in France, Moses Simon, has brought an end to bad water condition for the people of Obagaji Agatu in Agatu LGA of Benue State by drilling three boreholes in the community.
 
Simon who is a native of Benue State but grew up in Kaduna,  has earned the praises of his people and the head of the community, Chief James Ocheche.
 
"We have been without water for as long as we have existed as a community. The source of water to drink has been from time before now during the rainy season, we depend on rainwater and well." said Chief Ocheche.
 
"After the rainy season," he continued, "we depend on the water source known as the ewu, and from ages we have been depending on it like that."
 
"Recently, we thank God for some Non-Governmental Organisations, (NGOs) which had donated one or two boreholes.  However, because our water table is too deep, most of the boreholes have not been a good source of water", Chief James explained.
 
On Moses, the chief said he has nothing more to say but to thank the Nigerian international who has brought to an end the desire of the community to have good water for consumption and other basic needs.
 
Simon had recently reached out to Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Kaduna giving out food, clothes, drugs and free medical service.
