He disclosed that he had directed the management of Ogun State Water Corporation (OGSWC) to come up with other water production and distribution infrastructure financing gaps for the government’s intervention

Having identified lack of maintenance of water production and distribution infrastructures as a critical challenge across the state, Dapo tasked the management of the OGSWC to come up with immediate, medium, and long-term solutions with costs and timeframe within the next one week with a view to addressing the problem.

The meeting was also attended by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Shuaib Salisu, Chief Economic Adviser and Commissioner of Finance, Dapo Okubadejo, Special Adviser, Water Resources and Board Chairman, Ogun State Water Corporation, and the General Manager of the Corporation.
