“Responding to the existential needs of our operating environment is a top priority on our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda, and this explains why we gave speedy approval to the request of Lagos Channel Management (LCM), our Joint Venture Partner, to resuscitate the Apapa waterworks which had been non-functional for about a decade,” he said.
Daily Trust reports that the development is coming on the heels of the rehabilitation of the Accident and Emergency Ward at the Apapa General Hospital and the acquisition and deployment of a first-of-its-kind in Africa incinerator for efficient waste management by the NPA.
Dignitaries present include the MD Lagos State Water Corporation, the Chairperson of Apapa Local Government, and Hon. (Mrs) Idowu Shebanjo, accompanied by the Chairman and officials of the Apapa Residents Association.
Full of appreciation for the feat, the management of the NPA was assured of the proper maintenance of the facility to ensure sustainability.
