Lagos State according to Governor Babatunde Fashola is set to generate an additional 30m gallons of water with the near completion of 15 micro water works to complement the 70m gallons per day being produced by the Adiyan and Iju water works.

Fashola made this known while receiving the Agric and Water Resources Minister Dr. Abba Sayyadi Ruma, adding that an agreement to generate 12 MegaWatts in its Independent Power Project has been signed to power the water works in Adiyan by the end of the year.

He also sought the partnership of the Federal Government and the Ministry of Water Resources in the funding of a major water project in the Epe area having successfully tackled the ocean surge problem of the Lagos Bar Beach shoreline.

Speaking also at the 19th meeting of the National Council on Water Resources, Fashola called for lucid policies that would enable financial institutions to invest in the agriculture sector.

According to him, it is strange that despite the government's heavy investment in the sector, banks were still reluctant to pump money in noting that clear-cut policies would leave the banks with no choice but to invest in the sector.
