Lagos state governor approves guidelines for safe water

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the ‘Drinking and Packaged Water Quality Guidelines’ to regulate activities of Water Producers in the state.

This is in furtherance of his administration’s quest to engender consumption of safe water by residents and in fulfillment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on improved Clean Water and Sanitation.

Executive Secretary of Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission (LSWRC), Funke Femi Adepoju, who disclosed this during separate stakeholders’ meetings with the Association of Table Water Producers (ATWAP) and Nigeria Water and Sanitation Association (NIWASA) at the weekend said the guidelines would go a long way to assist operators in the water production, distribution and sale industry to operate in line with global best practices.

According to Adepoju, a recent report of the World Health Organization indicated that 3.4 million people, mostly children, die annually from water-related diseases, saying that government is committed to efforts aimed at promoting good water resource management, access to safe water and secured environment through regulatory framework which seeks to ensure service providers adhere to quality standards.
