The Ogun State government has announced plans to introduce a community-based water supply scheme, ‘water kiosking’ so as to end scarcity of potable water supply in the state.
The state governor, Dapo Abiodun in his new year broadcast noted that the new initiative would not only bring the much needed succour to the people, but ensure that water is readily made available across the state.
“We will ensure Improved provision of potable water supply in our major towns and cities through continuous upgrade of production capacity and distribution network.
“We are introducing community based water supply known as water kiosking, a new initiative that will bring potable water supply to several communities across the State,” the governor stated.
On the issue of some parents and guardians bullying teachers in the state, Abiodun vowed that such act would be met with swift sanctions.
“Let me however warn that any act by pupils, students, parents, and guardians that undermines the conducive environment for teaching and learning will be met with swift and severe sanctions. Our schools and institutions cannot be practice pitches for any form of violence, either against a fellow learner or teachers. Ogun State is renowned for Omoluabi ethos and no one will be allowed to rubbish this proud heritage,” he said.
Abiodun, while also noting that his administration would be implementing its Public Private Partnership initiatives for power generation in the state, added that the initiative would improve and guarantee electricity supply to major cities and clusters in the state.
The governor, who also said that the implementation of its multi modal transport master plan would commence with its modern bus mass transit, added that mass transit scheme when launched across the state, would be deepened and extended to cover other modes of transportation.
