The Lagos State House of Assembly Committee on Environment has expressed concern over unavailability of water supply in the state.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs and Brand Management Unit of the Lagos State Water Corporation, LWC, Mrs Kehinde Fashola, on Thursday.
The committee led by Adebola Shabi raised concerns about the lack of water supply in most homes in the state during its oversight visit to the Lagos State Water Corporation.
Shabi requested a comprehensive report of the ongoing projects and the challenges faced by the LWC in producing water supply.
The Managing Director of LWC, Mukhtaar Tijani, assured the committee that he had been working diligently to ensure water supply reaches most homes in the state.
Tijani made reference to the recent connection of Baruwa Community to Mosan Okunola Waterworks as one of the steps taken to achieve this goal.
The Executive Director, Operations, LWC, Taiwo Omolanke, emphasized on customer’s reluctance in paying the already subsidized water bill.
