As we celebrate World Water Day, let's remember: water is life, and it's up to us to protect it. This year's theme is all about empowering women and girls in water management. It's time to ensure equal access to clean water and promote sustainable development.
Did you know over 2.1 billion people lack safe water? We can make a difference by advocating for better water management.
In Lagos, we're taking steps to improve water supply. We're rehabilitating waterworks, investing in new infrastructure, and exploring partnerships to bring in expertise and funding. Our goal is to ensure all homes have access to clean water by 2027.
We're working to reduce dependence on boreholes and wells, and promoting water conservation. Let's join forces to make a change. Every drop counts!
Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, Honourable Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Lagos State.
