Ogun State Government has warned residents working around communities in the state, against damaging water infrastructure, saying it would arrest and prosecute such individuals.
In a statement by Damilola Otubanjo, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Water Resources, Ogun State Water Corporation (OSWC), condemned deliberate attempts by some residents to destroy basic water infrastructure, accusing contractors of destroying pipes along the road during construction without making efforts to replace them.
Otunbanjo said the corporation was battling aged and deteriorating facilities without replacement by successive administrations.
Ogun State Government has also promised to rehabilitate and upgrade the infrastructures, to improve the quality of water supply to the residents, lamenting that the efforts were being frustrated by constant damage to its facilities.
