The Lagos State Government has commissioned a new mirco-water scheme in Igborosun, Badagry. “The micro water scheme has a production capacity of 60,000 litres of wholesome water per run and three runs per day, which will translate to 180,000 litres per day,” said the Commissioner for Rural Development, Mr. Cornelius Ojelabi, who was at the commissioning ceremony.
The Lagos Commissioner for Finance, Adetokunbo Abiru, who represented the Governor, Babatunde Fashola, said that, “In the last six years, the government has provided 445 types of water projects of various designs in rural and semi-urban areas, based on their population and topography.
“The government has always complemented the efforts of the state water corporation with different water scheme designs in semi-urban and rural communities where the corporation is yet to extend its services. We are passionate about the lives of the people in Lagos State and we are determined to provide portable water for all the people across the state.”
