The Chairman however regretted that almost all the schemes of the Corporation are being bedeviled by epileptic power supply, with few working at lower capacities but stressed that despite the economic doldrums in the country, the State Government is leaving no stone unturned to provide potable water to residents of the state.
Hon. Adeojo enjoined the organisation to render its support to the corporation because it has capacity needed to bring back the glory of the scheme.
In his response, WaterAid Nigeria representative, Mr Alao Adebayo noted that the agency was committed to supporting Oyo State towards ensuring that residents had access to good water, adding that the MoU is expected to improve the capacity of the Oyo State Water Corporation.
Mr. Adebayo Alao expressed the readiness of WaterAid Africa to assist in boosting water supply to Oyo State as a whole as it usually undertakes Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) projects which the Water Corporation of Oyo State qualifies to enjoy.
He said that Lagos State Government has also benefited from the laudable support of the organisation in recent time, promising to hasten the support to the Corporation after necessary steps and paperwork have been sorted out.
