In the bustling heart of Orita-merin Gangansi, Ona Ara Local Government, Ibadan, stands one of Oyo State’s fast-rising names in the sachet water industry — Lere World Water.
Since its official opening on January 26, 2025, the brand has continued to make waves across Ibadan and its environs, delivering not just pure water but also a refreshing story of vision, innovation, and community impact.
Behind this growing success is Mogaji (Aare) Babawo Ifalere Ifagbenro Agbefawobiewu (NJP), a man whose life seamlessly blends entrepreneurship, tradition, and service to humanity. A renowned traditionalist and respected community leader, Mogaji Ifagbenro wears many hats: he is the Head of All Traditionalists in Southwest Nigeria, a prominent member of Ajorosun Club, and a devoted employer of labour whose ventures reflect his deep commitment to community development.
Driven by his passion to create employment and promote local enterprise, the Mogaji has established several thriving businesses, including the Ifagbenro Traditional Hospital and Maternity Home and Oto Amori Farm, where livestock such as pigs, cows, and other animals are reared. These initiatives have not only provided livelihoods for many but have also strengthened the economic base of the Ona Ara community.
At Lere World Water, modernity meets purpose. The company is equipped with state-of-the-art purification systems and a fleet of branded Casta vehicles that ensure timely delivery of sachet water to customers across Oyo State. With a growing workforce and a production capacity that has steadily increased since inception, Lere World Water has quickly earned a reputation for excellence and reliability among distributors and consumers alike.
Beyond its business success, Lere World Water represents something more profound — a vision for grassroots empowerment. The company’s operations have significantly contributed to human capital development in Ona Ara, providing jobs for youths and supporting local families.
Speaking with WesternLifeNewsNG, Mogaji Ifagbenro described the initiative as “a divine calling to serve humanity through enterprise.”
According to him, the goal of Lere World Water extends beyond profit-making.
“We are building a legacy of quality, integrity, and service. Every drop of Lere Water represents our commitment to purity and community growth,” he said.
As the demand for clean and affordable drinking water continues to rise, Lere World Water stands out not just for quenching thirst but for refreshing hopes, proving that when vision meets dedication, even a sachet of water can carry the weight of purpose.
