He said "We have a track record of reaching the unreached communities in Africa with various targeted community based Humanitarian projects and initiatives".

In his remark, he mentioned that the organisation is embarking on a state by state developmental project in Nigeria.

"Our goal is to provide safe/clean drinkable water in the many unreached communities (rural areas) across the country. In today's covid world where we've all had to adjust to the new normal, washing of hands, and the consumption of safe/clean water cannot be over-emphasize in preventing and managing infectious diseases.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), safe water supplies, hygienic sanitation and good water management are fundamental to global health. One-tenth of global disease could be prevented by access to safe water and improving water management to reduce risks of water-borne infectious diseases. So, ensuring that rural communities in Nigeria have unrestricted access to safe water is a guaranteed way to curb and ultimate eradicate the spread of covid-19 and other infectious diseases, this is our mission.
