He said though, the project would not solve all problems relating to water in the metropolis and the state, it would on completion, provide thousands of people in the city access to potable water in the nearest future.

Gilard described water as a basic service needed by the people and necessary for the economic development and commended the Governor Abiodun for being proactive in the water sector.

Also speaking, the Acting General Manager of the State Water Corporation, Mrs. Olufunmilayo Jaji, said the project is divided into infrastructure and soft components, emphasizing that the objective is to increase the coverage, continuity and ensure quality water supply in Abeokuta and its environs.

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.

The AFD delegation included Margot Maugenest, Project Manager, Josephine Musa and Aletan Olubiyi from the Federal Ministry of Water Resources. (vitalnewsngr.com)
