LAGOS SEALS LEKKY COUNTY APARTMENT WATER TREATMENT PLANT, PUMP STATION
– To Release Result of Test Conducted On Victoria Garden City Water
By Olorunfemi Adejuyigbe
The Lagos State Government through the Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission (LASWARCO) on Thursday sealed the water treatment plant and pump station of the Lekky County Homes Estate in the Lekki area of the state for producing unwholesome water for residents.
In an enforcement operation led by the Director, Technical Services of LASWARCO, Engr. Adefemi Afolabi who represented the Executive Secretary, Mrs. Funke Adepoju, the Commission said it had to wield the big stick having given the service provider till the end of June to comply with regulatory directives regarding the supply of water fit for human consumption.
According to Afolabi, the action of the Commission was based on a petition received from residents of the estate who complained about the quality of the water being supplied to them by the utility provider of the Lekky County Homes Estate.
He said: “Following a petition received by the Commission, we inspected the facility on May 26, 2022, and conducted a series of tests. On May 30, 2022, we invited the complainants and the service provider to a meeting, after which we issued a regulatory directive to the service provider on a resolution of the challenges.
“The service provider was given till the end of June to comply with the directive. However, this was not done, a development which prompted the complainants to write a follow-up letter.”
Afolabi said the Commission decided to seal the water treatment plant and pump station of the Lekky County Apartment based on the result of the tests conducted through the Mobile Lab and Water Lab of the Commission, adding: “the facility will remain shut until the regulatory directive regarding wholesome water is complied with.”
The team also visited the Victoria Garden City (VGC) Water Plant in Lekki where the officials of the Commission carried out the relevant tests on the facility through the Mobile Lab.
“The inspection of the VGC water facility was also based on a petition by residents of the estate who complained about the quality of water and high tariffs by the service provider.
“We have conducted the relevant tests and taken samples for further investigation. The result will be out after 4 working days. As a Commission, we are interested in the quality of water being supplied to residents by the service providers as well as their viability.
“We want utilities to comply with the Drinking Water Quality of the state government. The interest of consumers is of paramount importance to LASWARCO and no effort will be spared to protect residents and ensure that they are only exposed to wholesome water,” Afolabi said.

The leader of one of the foremost religious organisations in Nigeria, Bishop Chidi Anthony, president of Pentecostal Ministers Forum of Nigeria has outrightly condemned the killing of Fulani hunters in Uromi,Edo State and recapitulated that the killing hasn’t any religious undertone and has nothing to do with Christians in the country.
Reacting to a viral video where a Fulani man was seen threatening the entire Christians in the country and talking to the president of the country with so much impudence “what happened in Uromi is barbaric and shouldn’t be encouraged,if they had suspected that they were kidnappers, they shouldn’t have handed them over to the security operatives,not killing them instantly,such callous and act of dastardly such not be encouraged because we are one Nigeria ”
The PMF president was infuriated by the daring utterances of the Fulani guy on social media who threatened to kill and cause chaos in order to avenge the death of the Fulani hunters “I want to be very realistic,we shouldn’t encourage such threat that is capable of setting the nation on fire,why threaten to kill Christians, what happened in Uromi was not religious,I beckon on the security operatives to search and arrest him before he tears the nation apart”
Finally,he called on other religious leaders in the country to speak out at this point and defend the Christians in the country because they are not the ones that perpetuated the act “I want to implore the fathers of faith and other Christian bodies in the country to stand upright and defend the Christian faith because what happened in Uromi has absolutely nothing to do with the Christians ”
