The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, says the second phase of the Adiyan Waterworks when completed would provide 70 million gallons of water to residents daily.

Sanwo-Olu said this during an inspection of the Adiyan Waterworks in Ogun, disclosing that work on the project had reached an 80 per cent completion level.

He added that the locals are happy due to the reception received, noting that compensation has been paid by Lagos State and Ogun government.

Sanwo-Olu, however, revealed that a lot still needed to be done to ensure that the project was completed before the end of his second term in office.

“I think the main pride for us is what we have seen in Adiyan. Adiyan II is meant to produce 70 million gallons per day and you can see from the inspection we had today, it’s about 80 per cent completed.

“The electromagnetic and electromechanical work, which has to do with the pump, all the containers are there, so they will start fixing.

9News Nigeria reports that Governor Sanwo-Olu used the opportunity to commend the contractor and the community for working harmoniously in order to provide portable drinking water for residents of Lagos State.
