He said since the inception of the LIWA Conference in the year 2020,’’   The state government has sought to reposition water governance and regulatory dispensation in the state, improve water security and investment opportunities. Our commitment is in line with this administration’s goal of improving access to clean water and sanitation.’’

Governor Sanwo-Olu, represented by his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat explained that the megacity status of Lagos State and the pace at which its population is growing underscores the urgent need to promote and facilitate efficiency in the water sector, as well as guaranteeing  its financial viability.

He said, ‘’The economic and commercial activities that abound in the state, along with its major link to international businesses and the outside world, has made Lagos a beacon of hope and prosperity that attracts a constant influx of people which translates to a constant growth in population. This means that the government needs to work meticulously to administer the resources and facilities needed by this huge population to be productive most especially in the area of sanitation.

 ‘’It has been estimated that Lagos by 2050 will hit a population of 40 million, hence it has become crucial that we get in front of this issue and come up with sustainable strategies that will provide safe water sanitation and ensure better hygiene for the people of the  state.

‘’Our administration is committed to providing easy access to safe water and hygiene, not just because it is expected of us, but because it is a fundamental human right and it falls within our welfare policy for the State. It is also by this index of sanitation that our dear State will be adjudged for livable suitability, and ensure that we achieve the SDG target 6 which will in turn announce our utmost readiness for local and international investments.’’

In her speech, the Executive Secretary of Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission (LASWACO) Mrs. Funke Adepoju said Safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are fundamental to human health.
