The Oyo State government has said it is working out modalities on how to improve its Water Supply Project, especially in the area of provision of adequate potable water.

The Chairman of the Corporation, Hon. Elias Adeojo made this remark during his tour of the Corporation's facilities across the State. 

Adeojo said the tour is aimed at actualising the rehabilitation, upgrading and expansion of the State's Water Supply Scheme to improve water supply infrastructure so as to meet the emerging water demand in the state. 

Hon. Adeojo stressed that the Government is committed to the well-being of residents, hence its determination to address all factors besetting water production as enshrined in the Omituntun 2.0 mantra.

The Chairman added that abandoned projects would be revisited and reviewed so as to maximize the purpose they were projected for and curb wastage of scarce resources.
