The locations of the boreholes where the World Water Day 2024 celebrations took place were Uromi, Idumage, Uwalor and Ubierumu.

“As a major stakeholder in the nation’s water sector, we wish to formally invite you to participate and grace this year’s event scheduled for Friday, 22nd of March 2024,” the letter of invitation had stated.
Agba, who also attracted scores of other infrastructure projects to the three senatorial zones of the state, identified with the celebration of the 2024 World Water Day celebrations as organized by the Benin-Owena River Basin Authority.
