A village thanked the government for roads and a tractor, but is begging for its water hole to be finished. Residents of Toroba in the North Bank Region, through their committee chairman, Ismaila Bah, praised national infrastructure work like the Kerewan–Njawara road and a donated tractor while highlighting their own unfinished borehole project from 2020.
Bah made these comments during a media visit, stating that existing water supplies cannot handle the people and animals living there. He directly called on the Ministry of Water Resources to complete the job, pointing out that the drilled borehole still needs a tank and pipes to become operational.
The chairman acknowledged improvements in safety, local business, and youth employment from the new road, which helped reduce the urge for young people to leave for cities. Even with these positive developments, the community's critical need for reliable water remains a stark problem amidst the broader progress.
