Jaji noted that the project is to improve financial viability of the corporation to enable it improve on its revenue generation and reduce cost, adding that it’s also to improve governance in the water sector of the State.

On the efforts of the corporation to make water available to the people, Jaji disclosed that the rehabilitation of essential infrastructure have been completed, assuring that when the remaining inputs are in place, water would flow in all the nooks and crannies of Abeokuta and other parts of the state.

While appealing to the people to bear with the corporation in it’s efforts to make water available, the Acting General Manager called on them to pay their bills when water is restored to keep the organisation in business.
