By -

Kwara State Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Usman Yunusa Lade has commended the Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) for its collaborative initiatives.

The Commissioner gave the commendation recently when the Technical Committee of ACReSAL paid an assessment visit to the Ministry of Water Resources in a bid to strengthen collaboration and have a first hand information on the needs of the Ministry.

Hon. Lade commended the efforts of the project, stating that “ACReSAL has been of very significant benefit to the Ministry and Kwara State at large. It has  helped to ease the operation and efficiency of the Ministry."

The Commissioner said this is a testament to the donation of operational vehicle and motorcycles to the Ministry, which has eased mobility for effective accessibility of the dams and waterworks, especially, in rural areas of the state.

Hon. Lade appealed for the provision of ICT facilities for the billing system in the Ministry, which will ensure accurate database for all water consumers across the state, while commending the support of the Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, which he described as instrumental to the achievements recorded by the Ministry so far.

Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs. Christiana Omolola Asonibare lauded the support of ACReSAL in the Ministry and appealed to the Committee to ensure timely delivery of its promises in order to ensure better service delivery.

Earlier in his address, the Environmental Safeguarding Officer of ACReSAL in Kwara State, Mr. Abdulrahim Mohammed Abubakar, revealed that the Committee intends to carry out an assessment of the Ministry’s conference room and offices for upgrading as well as provide the Ministry with solar power to curb the use of generator in order to reduce harmful emission and promote eco-friendly activities within the Ministry.

He added that ACReSAL is doing the same for other sister Ministries, Departments and Agencies, in line with its objectives to promote eco-friendly activities across the state.

The Committee took a tour of the conference room and offices within the Ministry to assess the facilities and identify areas of needs.
