…to re-connect  Agodi Correctional Centre

The ‎Oyo State Government through the Oyo State Water Corporation has commenced the process of connecting potable water to the Ladoke Akintola International Airport, ensuring adequate supply of water to the facility.

The Executive Chairman of the Corporation, Hon. Elias Adeojo stated this on Monday, at a meeting with the Managing Director of Cranebury, a Construction Company handling the project, Mr. Jonny Sdozine and the Project Manager, Mr. Daniel Sjoud.

The Chairman reiterated that he was acting on the directive of Governor Seyi Makinde who instructed that necessary steps be taken to provide potable water to the airport.

Hon. Adeojo assured that the project will be completed within record time, noting that all required materials have been provided for execution.

‎”I met with His Excellency during one of his unscheduled visits to the airport recently where he directed that every step be taken to connect the water pipeline to the airport”, he said.

In another development, the Chairman revealed that work had begun on the reconnection of potable water to Agodi Correctional Centre.

He noted that the facility had previously benefited from water supply before its main pipeline was vandalized, leading to disruptions.

However, following the recent replacement of the damaged 100mm UPC water pipeline supplying water to Oke-Adu, reconnection efforts for the Correctional Centre are now underway.

He explained that more old customers of the Corporation will soon be reconnected with the Agodi Correctional Centre and the reconnection  is expected to be completed within few days.

The Oyo State Government has resuscitated the abandoned water reservoir located at Osupa in Ogbomoso area of the State.

The Chairman, Oyo State Water Cooperation, Hon. Elias Adeojo stated this on Thursday in Ogbomoso during a meeting with the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye.

Mr Adeojo said the project, would supply enough water to the residents of the Ogbomoso metropolis.

He revealed that work was on top gear to ensure that the water scheme operated at full capacity, saying the project would meet the water needs of thousands of residents.

According to him, the water scheme is supplying about 400,000 gallons of water daily, which signified that Gov. Seyi Makinde is committed to fulfilling his campaign promises.

He urged the benefitting communities to cultivate a good culture of protecting water installations in their communities for efficient and regular water supply.

Felicitating with the Soun of Ogbomoso on his first year anniversary on the throne, Elias Adeojo noted that the monarch is an embodiment of passion, whose contribution to the project was immense.

He said, “The successful resuscitation of the water reservoir at Osupa in Ogbomoso can be credited to the support received from the revered Monarch.”

“The reservoir since built in 1996 has not been put to good use until recently when the Oyo State Government rose to the challenge with huge support from Oba Ghandi Olaoye and some notable Ogbomoso indigene”, the Chairman said.

He therefore stressed the need for all stakeholders to be on the same page, as regards the provision of portable water to the residents of Oyo State, was paramount to their lives.
