The Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, has resuscitated the 2.4 million gallons per day Apapa Water Works.
Mohammed Bello Koko, the Managing Director of NPA during a handover ceremony of the facility on Thursday, said it has been moribound since 2012.
He noted that the facility would help ameliorate the needs of Nigerians living in Apapa community.
“Responding to the existential needs of our operating environment is top priority on our Corporate Social Responsibility agenda, and this explains why we gave speedy approval to the request of resuscitation of the Apapa Water Works which had been moribund since 2012”, he stated.
The development is coming on the heels of a similar rehabilitation of the Accident and Emergency Ward at the Apapa General Hospital and the acquisition and deployment of a first-of-its-kind in Africa for efficient waste management by NPA.
The Chairperson of Apapa Local Government, Hon. (Mrs) Idowu Shebanjo and officials of Apapa Residents Association lauded the renovation of the facility.
