How everyone digging borehole in Lekki is likely drinking ‘shit water’ – Lagos govt | READ DETAILS
The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has expressed concern on the type of water available in Lekki, warning that people drilling borehole in the area are probably drinking ‘’shit water.”
Adegbite stated this while speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state.
In his words;
“On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
“However, if we are able to treat all the waste water within this axis which we have plans for, we should be able to also eradicate any form of disease that might result as result of non-treatment of our waste”.
“Yesterday, it rained heavily which is unusual because this is supposed to be August break. However, we started having it because of a lot of complex issues.
“Basically, in terms of flooding, despite the fact that we have committed so much, however, we still need a lot to do in that space.”
