Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has said the state will meet the demand of potable water supply to the residents by 2020. The governor gave the assurance on Tuesday after inspecting the ongoing construction in the Adiyan waterworks. He said the project was designed to put an end to scarcity of potable water supply to the residents. The governor, who also inaugurated an 18 classroom block at Sonmori Senior Comprehensive High School, College Road, Ifako Ijaiye and First African Primary School, Iju–Ishaga, said the All Progressives Congress would continue to provide dividends of democracy to the people. Fashola said, “The construction work in the Adiyan waterworks phase II is in top gear. The contractor has shown that his men could work at night and hopefully, this will speed up the construction of the waterworks. “This is the third major waterworks in the state. The first was the Iju waterworks which was built in 1910. There was no major intervention in the state until 1991 when Adiyan waterworks phase I was constructed. That was a long time and the population continued to grow in the state. “This is direct government funding. The long term plan is that we will need more of this to be able to hit the water demands of the residents of the state. The plan is that by 2020, we should be able to meet the plan of the citizens of the state.” The governor explained that provision of water alone was never the answer to water scarcity, but the conservation of water. He said, “Like all utilities, one can never oversupply. So, to have adequate supply, it requires minimisation of waste and water conservation. “Work on the Ifako-Ijaiye mini stadium is ongoing and it will be completed on time. It is a commitment I made to them and I assured them that I will deliver it. And hopefully, we will finish it before 2015.”

Also today, students in Ifako Ijaye and Iju Ishaga received new new school buildings..

Why can't we do anything standard in Lagos?

What is this shabby contraption I'm seeing?

.

Story for the gods

Nice.

By 2020, it will become vision 2045

What kind of nonsense is this? Meeting water demands in almost 6 years from now? Damn! These politicians have no care for their citizens.

May God help us all. Amen!!

Well.... The 6 years period is not my problem but the fact that even at the end of that 6 years, there maybe still be nothing to show for it... That's if the project is not abandoned along the way.

Vision 2020
The problem with this kinda project is, lack of continuity on the path of our politicians and Gov't.

A new Gov't will come into power neglecting old & uncompleted projects to start another which he won't complete as well.
Lack of Continuity is a major problem killing this nation.

Election package

Nigeria would have been a better place if all our governors and politicians would stop using their brains to loot our money and use their brains like the way fashola is using his brain.

Lagos is working.keep it up

Rubbish propaganda. I see plastic water tanks and civil structures that can easily qualify for residential building foundation.

Lagos is full of intrigues, deception and propaganda. His next action will be to bash FG for not doing enough to provide portable water.
Very Predictable Evils.

2020.... OP I suspect ♈όϋ !
♈όϋ and Fashola get hidden plans..

we need constant light abeg
