 PPP INITIATIVE: LAGOS WATER CORPORATION ENGAGES CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS 


... To Enhance Service Delivery


In response to concerns raised by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) regarding the Pilot Public-Private Partnership (PPP) on the Lagos Water Corporation’s Seven Mini and Micro Waterworks, the Corporation has held a clarifying engagement with CSOs at its Headquarters in Ijora, Lagos.


During the engagement, the Managing Director of the Lagos Water Corporation, Engr. Mukhtaar Tijani, emphasised that the primary objective of the PPP initiative is to enhance effective service delivery to the residents of Lagos State. He explained, “We have chosen to implement a different approach to achieve improved outcomes, particularly to ensure adequate provision of potable water for Lagosians.”


Engr. Tijani further expressed the Corporation’s commitment to making the pilot phase of the PPP a success, with the ultimate goal of expanding the number of Mini and Micro Waterworks available for enhanced service delivery.


Echoing this sentiment, the Executive Director of Operations, Engr. Omolanke Taiwo, informed the Civil Society Organisations that the Lagos Water Corporation’s efforts are focused on improving service delivery and increasing the state’s water production capacity. She stated, “We welcome private sector collaboration to foster mutual understanding and alignment as we work towards shared objectives.”


At the meeting, the Head of the Transformation and Strategy Department, Engr. Titilola Bright-Oridami, delivered a slide presentation on behalf of the Managing Director, providing further insight into the rationale behind the LWC’s PPP initiative. Key highlights included direct benefits for citizens such as a reliable water supply, fair and transparent tariffs, avenues for grievance redress, and a Community Service Charter.


Representatives of the Civil Society Organisations present at the meeting expressed their support for the direction taken by the Lagos Water Corporation and conveyed their confidence that, over time, the issue of insufficient potable water delivery will be resolved. 


They also committed to sharing the outcomes of the engagement with their respective communities and to maintaining ongoing dialogue with the Corporation to ensure continued collaboration.
