Aseyin seeks collaboration with Water Corporation to boost water supply in Iseyin

The Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Sefiu Olawale Oyebola, has called for stronger collaboration with the Oyo State Water Corporation, to improve water supply in Iseyin and its environs.

He made the call during a visit to Iseyin by the Agency’s Chairman, Mr. Elias Adeojo.

Adeojo had told the monarch that the state government would not relent in its efforts to provide potable water to residents across the state, disclosing that the major obstacle to adequate water supply in Iseyin and its surroundings is epileptic power supply; a challenge faced across the state.

The Chairman emphasized that efforts are ongoing to address the issue, adding that Governor Seyi Makinde has mandated him to restore water services to all geopolitical zones in the state.

“Provision of potable water is one of Governor Seyi Makinde’s key agendas, and he has given directives in that regard, with adequate support and assistance,” the Chairman said.

Oba Oyebola, in his remarks, expressed optimism despite the challenges, stressing that collective action could help overcome the difficulties currently facing the provision of potable water in Iseyin.

He expressed hope that the meeting would yield actionable and implementable outcomes, significantly contributing to water supply in the region.

The monarch reiterated his awareness of the fruitful partnership between the government and the Soun of Ogbomoso in providing water to Ogbomoso, which motivated his invitation to the Executive Chairman of the state Water Corporation.

He took the opportunity to commend Governor Makinde for his commitment to the people of Oke-Ogun, particularly Iseyin, in his efforts to move the state forward.
