…As Flower Garden, Pakata Waterways repair near completion.

The Kwara State Government has inspected several water fetching points across Ilorin Metropolis in order to ensure adequate supply of water, seeking residents cooperation and support, to sustain continuous flow of water at these fetching points.

The Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Usman Yunusa Lade, who led the team from the Ministry, carried out the inspection during the weekend and implored residents to take ownership of the fetching points and water pipes in their neighbourhood by safeguarding them against vandalisation.

The Commissioner inspected fetching points at Adeta, Sakele, Pakata, Ita-merin, Oloje, Alore, Abayawo, Okelele and Ayegbami, where residents were seen fetching water from government fetching points, calling on residents to notify the Ministry and the State Water Corporation of leaking pipes to avoid wastage.

Similarly, Hon. Lade inspected areas where water facilities are undergoing repairs and maintenance work, especially, Flower Garden and Pakata Waterways, for firsthand information on the work.

The Commissioner assured the Communities that the State Government is committed to making water available to the people of the State.

“A testament to this is the ongoing repair of Waterways like the Flower Garden and Pakata Waterways, which are nearing completion”, he added.

"When completed, the Flower Garden Waterway will supply water to areas like Sabo-Oke, Amilengbe, Maraba, Adualere, Mubo and Ipata, where there are challenges of water at the moment while Communities like Abeemi, Omoda, Ile Ara-Oyo, Masingba, Ajikobi, Okekere, Popo-Igbona, Ita-Ogunbo, Ita-Kudimo, Ode Alfa Nda and Agbaji, among others, will begin to enjoy water supply upon completion of the repair of Pakata Waterway", Hon. Lade further explained.

The residents commended the efforts of the State Government and appealed that other areas be considered, while at some parts of Isale-Aluko Community, where the repair of leaking water pipes is ongoing, the residents lauded the government for its swift action and pledged to protect the facilities from vandalisation.
