Water for all: Ogun partners with FG

Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has reiterated the determination of his administration to provide safe drinking water for the people of the state.

Amosun stated this when he received in audience the Minister of Water Resources, Mrs. Sarah Reng Ochekpe, who was on a working visit to the state.

According to the governor, “Water is life; nobody can do without water. Once there is clean and portable water, the problem of health is largely solved. We therefore cherish the collaboration of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources with our state.”

Earlier in his remarks, Ochekpe said she had visited the Ota Water Scheme and Owiwi Dam with a view to assessing their state and exploring ways of maximizing their potentials in the areas of portable water, irrigation, fishery and tourism activities.

“We are happy with what we have seen and we will do everything possible to complete them,” she said.
