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.
