LSWMO, LASWARCO Align Policies to Strengthen Water Governance

The Lagos State Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment has thrown its weight behind marketing strategist Becky Joe’s Guinness World Record attempt for Africa’s Largest Social Media Marketing Lesson. The event, held at the University of Lagos Sports Centre, attracted thousands of participants.

General Manager Engr. Adefemi Afolabi stressed that water supply and wastewater management are intrinsically linked and require policy coherence. He noted that structured collaboration will enhance compliance monitoring and regulatory oversight.

LASWARCO Executive Secretary Mrs. Olubukola Adeyemo emphasised the importance of regulatory predictability in driving investor confidence and sector growth. She highlighted the need for harmonised standards and coordinated enforcement.

Both agencies discussed advancing the State’s WASH Policy and institutionalising data-sharing mechanisms to improve evidence-based planning. The dialogue focused on eliminating service gaps and improving accountability.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to sustained inter-agency consultations and joint action plans aimed at safeguarding environmental sustainability and strengthening public trust in Lagos’ water systems
