The Oyo State government has announced its commitment to enhancing water quality and accessibility across the state.
This initiative includes the rehabilitation, upgrading, and expansion of the state’s water supply infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for clean and safe drinking water.

This commitment aligns with the administration’s “Omituntun 2.0” mantra, which seeks to address various factors affecting water production and distribution.
During a tour of the Oyo State Water Corporation’s facilities across the state, led by Chairman Mr. Elias Adeojo, the government’s intentions were made clear.

The Chairman’s tour, accompanied by several Corporation directors, covered areas including Ibarapa, Oke-Ogun, Ogbomoso, Oyo, and the less urban regions of Ibadan.
The statement also mentioned that the tour would continue next week, focusing on the Corporation’s facilities within the Ibadan metropolis.
