Ogun corporation attributes Abeokuta water disruption to road projects
The Ogun State Water Corporation (OGSWC) has attributed the persistent disruption of pipe-borne water supply in parts of Abeokuta to damage inflicted on water distribution pipelines during road construction and urban renewal projects executed by the previous administration, dismissing claims that the French Development Agency (AFD)-funded Ogun Urban Water Supply Project failed to achieve its objectives.
The Corporation also clarified that the N450 million appropriated in the 2024 Federal Ministry of Water Resources budget for the desilting of the Arakanga Water Reservoir is a separate Federal Government intervention and has no connection with the AFD-funded Ogun Urban Water Supply Project.
Reaffirming its commitment to expanding access to potable water across the state, the Corporation insisted that the AFD-funded Ogun Urban Water Supply Project was fully completed and had delivered measurable improvements in water production, transmission, distribution, metering and institutional capacity, stressing that the current supply disruptions are temporary consequences of damaged pipelines, not evidence of project failure.
