To ensure that residents of Ojudu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) have access to clean water, the Lagos Water Corporation (LWC), in partnership with WaterAid and Armani Beauty, has embarked on the rehabilitation of the Akilo Micro Waterworks.
In a post shared on Friday via the Lagos State Government (LGS) Facebook page, it was noted that the initiative aims to provide quality water to over 100,000 residents.
The agency described it as a significant milestone in expanding clean water projects to underserved areas.
Additionally, the LWC revealed that rehabilitation works at Adiyan I, Iju, and Akute, as well as the construction of mini 2 MGD treatment plants at Alexander and Magodo, have been completed.
The statement read, “The Alexander Waterworks, situated in the Ikoyi area of Lagos, is a vital facility that serves key areas including Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki, and Magodo Phase 2 Estate.”
These efforts have resulted in a significant increase in water production capacity, thereby improving access to clean water for residents.

Among their efforts to provide clean water for residents, the 70 MGD Adiyan II project—which is set to be completed in 2027—was revived to supply 70 million gallons of potable water daily to serve five million Lagosians.
To end a 25-year water scarcity and improve the quality of life for residents of the Baruwa-Abesan community, the 2 MGD Mosan Okunola Waterworks was recommissioned.
In 2024, rehabilitation of the Isashi Waterworks was completed, with the project targeted to increase the supply of potable water by 200%.
“This vital state utility asset has undergone extensive rehabilitation to enable 24-hour operation,” LWC stated.
Meanwhile, to address longstanding gaps, the LSG—through the LWC—established the Lagos WASH Policy, which aims to prioritize rural water and sanitation with integrated water management, transparency, and efficiency.
To enhance efficiency and ease water bill payments, the agency introduced Quickteller and PayDirect platforms, noting that this digital initiative will enhance revenue collection and reduce payment bottlenecks.
