The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

“However, if we are able to treat all the waste water within this axis which we have plans for, we should be able to also eradicate any form of disease that might result as result of non-treatment of our waste”

He added that the government still has a lot to do to tackle flooding in the state, saying, “Yesterday, it rained heavily which is unusual because this is supposed to be August break. However, we started having it because of a lot of complex issues.

“Basically, in terms of flooding, despite the fact that we have committed so much, however, we still need a lot to do in that space.”

Wonderful
Nice one
Shit water
What's the solution

Useless talk from a rich SG. Do it for them and stop threatening so you can tax them more. Why is it only Lekki? Because them hold better money?

God bless God blessGod blessGod blessGod bless
God blessGod bless

Means all the wealthy people have been drinking shit water ?
Oh my goodness ..!!
This is hilarious

Even the richest part of Nigeria is still a ghetto. No single public utility. Something is wrong with Nigerians. Black people elsewhere do not live this shabbily. Africa is leaving Nigeria behind.

And to say this is Lagos with the previous hyped leadership. Its unfortunate

Ohh my good God, what are all these I used to come across today in here, shit water? God.

Noted....Lagos island is an ecological blunder,take it or leave it.You can't even wash your cloths with water from the boreholes,so salty and acidic. Imagine that you will always have to bath with pure water or get the water tankers to get you water.
With global warming and ozone layer depletion,we just hope that some day in the future,the entire island will not be submerged.
I wonder how people are not foreseeing danger for the much talked about Eko Atlantic city!

And tinubu built Lagos o. 😂 😂. Lagos is fine to live in. Many opportunities to make it in life, but the government should address the concerns of the people

So some Leki residents have been drinking, bathing and cooking wit shit. OMG

He should be fired for this indicting statement

Whose responsibility is it to provide clean potable and affordable water

Sebi he goes to UK. How many times has he seen boreholes in London

I've always insisted that all the infrastructure building in Lagos is a waste if the state can't provide tap running water for the residents with all the humongous resources at its disposal. All the so-called building of Lagos is just window dressing

Lagos used to have pipe borne water before 1999 even under Marwa!!

Lekki Lagos, the city where black is called white

Lekki big man dey sip shit water😀😀😀😀😀





That place is just over hyped... Good place on the mainland that is good and free from all these kind wahala....

Lol…the headline muzz me …I don’t have more to say ok

Listen to what a permanent secretary of a government is saying?

You abandon your responsibility and say people drink shit water.

Treat water & make available portable pipe borne water to people’s houses/offices. That is what a responsible government should do. Lekki residents & by extension Lagos residents have no business providing a basic amenity like water to themselves because its not safe

Omor, this is serious oooo.

lol shit water drinkers. The Tinubu Lagos he developed.

These people don't have any iota of shame! Who would dig borehole when the tap is running.

The government has failed in the duty of providing pipe norm water

And this one is talking like mockingbird


...it's just shameful

Shameless man who did not realize that he was indicting his own government. This is not the first occurrence of flooding in Lekki. The raining season just kicked off and will linger until the end of November. They had the whole of last December to June this year to build treatment build plants. Members of the state and FG reside in Lekki, Ajah, Victoria Island and Ikoyi. They see and know the problem. They complain when they are not in power. When they get into power, they neglect the areas and when they are out of power, blame the next leadership. It is the same problem nationwide. Those who reside along the boundaries of Rivers Niger and Benue suffer more at this time. Lives are lost, the little remaining roads are destroyed and farmers lose a lot as either whole harvests are destroyed completely or partially.

Release funds to fix the treatment plants and they would either emblezzle the funds or fix substandard equipments.

Painfully, they do not want to make death penalty the punishment for embezzling public funds. By now many officials would have been on the other side and the remaining ones fear to loot funds.

I don't think he's correct. At the dept of borehole, all germs should have been sifted by percolation and leaching. The only problem I think borehole can have is that of elements of the rock's encountered and technical faults if the surface run off leaks in the pipes.

Anyway, the government should provide an alternative

D00msDay:
Ayam not understanding ooo. How can a borehole of about 100 to 300 meters has shit water? Nawaoooo

it is called leaching... I don't know the kind of education that they give you guys in SW

Leaching is a simple thing we learnt in JSS3 in agric or biology or water cycle

this one should go and sit down.Duting Late Jakande (Baba kere) era, there's drinkable public water around lagos back in those days. Lagos state gov should do something bout that water board @ Shasha Road, iju Agege,,ijora etc.

You must have attended school especially secondary school in South Western Nigeria to be talking like this
