On October 25, Nestlé Nigeria Plc commissioned eight climate-smart boreholes and water treatment plants in Agbara, Ogun State, marking a significant milestone in its Water Regeneration Project.

Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev, the Honourable Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, highlighted the importance of ongoing governance and stewardship to ensure the sustainability of the facilities.
