Moses Simon has drilled three boreholes for the people of Obagaji in Benue state.

Until this latest development, the people of Obagaji have been drinking from the rivers.

Moses has been impressive for FC Nantes and also the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

People of Obagaji community in Agatu local government area of Benue state have been thrown into wide jubilation after Super Eagles winger Moses Simon provided three boreholes for them.

Super Eagles star Moses Simon who currently plays for FC Nantes in the French League was not happy that the community never had portable water in its existence.

Moses ordered for three boreholes to be drilled after getting an appeal from the elders of the community about the lack of good water.



A native of Benues State but has spent the best part of his life in Kaduna State, Simon still considered it a priority to remember the people from the place of his origin.

Chief James Ocheche who is the community head in Obagaji expressed appreciation to Moses Simon on behalf of the whole people in the town.

"We have been without water for as long as we have existed as a community.

We depend on rain water as well as what we get from our stream. Once the raining season is over, we depend on the water source known as the ewu and from ages we have been depending on it like that,'' Ocheche explained according to reports gathered.

Recently, Moses Simon also gave some internally displaced people of Southern Kaduna the sum of N500,000 for clothes and food.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Super Eagles winger Moses Simon expressed his desire and love to play for Premier League side Chelsea claiming that the Blues is his dream club.

Although the Nigerian forward is currently happy at French side Nantes, but Moses Simon will not hide the fact that he loves to play for the Stamford Bridge landlords.

He even recently signed a new four-year deal with Nantes which will make him stay at the side until 2024 unless the Blues come for his signing.

And since the age is on his side, Chelsea may be looking for his signature in future depending on the manager that will be in charge.

While speaking with Goal on his desire to play for Chelsea, Moses Simon explained that John Mikel Obi and Didier Drogba made him love the Blues.
