The Nursing and Midwifery Council Ghana, has provided two communities and the Nalerigu Senior High School in the North East Region with mechanised boreholes.
The construction of the boreholes which cost about 40,000.00 is part of the council’s Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR).
The beneficiary communities Sakogu and Wungu, were experiencing acute water shortage during the dry season.
The Chairperson of the Board Rev. Veronica Dark, who inaugurated the boreholes last week in the various communities, mentioned that the provision of the potable water to the two communities was part of its effort to assist in addressing the perennial water crisis there.
She indicated that the council was celebrating its 50th Anniversary and, therefore, decided to put similes on the faces of the residents of the communities, especially the students of Nalerigu SHS.
Rev. Veronica emphasised that the boreholes would enable the communities to store water in the dry season in order to save the people especially the students and said that, the council would continue to embark on activities that would go a long way to improve the lives of the people in the communities.
The Registrar of the Council, Mr Felix Nyante on his part, urged the beneficiaries and other stakeholders to take proper care of the boreholes.
He stated that it was incumbent on them to ensure regular maintenance of the facilities in order to ensure its longevity.
The Overlord of the Mampurisi Traditional Area Nayeri Abdulai Mahami Sheriga expressed gratitude to the members of the nursing and midwifery council board for the gesture.
He said the provision of the boreholes would address water scarcity and reduce infection of certain diseases in the beneficiary communities.
The Headmaster of Nalerigu Senior High School (NASS), Mr Tibila Mohammed thanked the council for the facility, and pledged to maintain it.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
