Lagos State government has said by the first quarter of next year, it would begin to issue licences and permits before any borehole is drilled for water in any part of the state.

Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission, Mrs Funke Femi Adepoju, while addressing stakeholders at a meeting, explained that this move was to safeguard residents of the metropolis.

The meeting was attended by members of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), Financial Institutions, Association of Table Water Producers (ATWAP) and Association of Water Well Drilling Rig Owners Operators among others.

According to her, the exercise, which is to be launched by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is to regulate the process of water abstraction in the state.

Mrs Adepoju affirmed that licensing was a significant process in the regulation of any industry as the commission was determined to ensure its availability and sustainability to prevent the effect on unregulated water abstraction.

“What is paramount to government is how abstraction affects us as a people not just today but the future with emphases on pollution, contamination of water bodies, saline filtration into the system, over-abstraction and unregulated abstraction,” she stated.

While assuring that only registered companies captured in data will be issued a 2-year renewable license with unique and personalized number, the Executive Secretary explained that the commission was not established for a punitive purpose, but rather to establish standard in the water extraction industry in order to ensure that the health and safety of citizens are not compromised.

According to her, the essence of the engagement was to improve the relationship between stakeholders and government by developing ways to sanitize the industry, stressing that the agency has acquired mobile water test kits which are to be used in testing samples during operation and that approval for the acquisition of a standard laboratory for water testing is on the way.

You are right

The drilling itself does not cause earthquakes, but the steam removal and water return can do so, by producing new instability along fault or fracture lines.

See as I dey laugh you. You know nothing. The African plate is relatively inactive and not like the nasca plate where Japan and some Asian countries lie. One way to remedies earthquake is fluid injection so siting boreholes releases pent up ground energy. Go read your book abegi. The worst we can have here is earth tremor which is not destructive or small on Richter scale or mercantile scale

This is a bit of a stretch. Earthquakes could and have occurred in Nigeria; Although such occurrences were of lesser magnitudes compared to what is experienced in other parts of the world.

The question they should be asking themselves is why so many people feel the need to dig boreholes even though it is very expensive to do so.

I disagree with ur opinion.

Dou it I true that drilling bore holes causes earthquakes but Nigerians have been drilling since time immemorial. Have u Eva heard the earth shaking talk less of a quake??

Reason is Nigeria is not prone to such natural disaster.

In advanced country drilling of bore holes are not regulated, it is outright prohibited and d government provides reliable constant and clean water supply.

Note that Lagos is not stopping it, dey only trying to regulate as a measure to generate revenue and not trying to guide against quakes

Then why are they getting earthquakes more than we with uncountable boreholes?

Earthquakes has something to do with the geological structures of the earth and its line of fissures and frictions, and not with boreholes.

This is just a sly way of enriching the people behind the licensed companies.

Licensing for water abstraction my foot. Did I read something like over-abstraction?

The companies will pay huge licensing fees thus eventually inflating the cost of sinking a borehole as the costs will be transmitted down to the end users.

Do you know states provide water supply to residents in those advances countries ...not becos of earthquake buh becos its one of the surest means of generating revenue for the govt and it also eliminates the additional charges on bill electricity that could av arise from occassional pumping.
Now what temerity does lagos govt av to charge people for a necessity( water) they are suppose to provide buh residents are providing for themselves, doesnt make sense ... @times i wonder if these policy makers are just been wicked or jus bunch of school dropout.
There many betters way of generating revenue ...its a give n take ... make dem give some of us chance to burst there brains
