SMATO Breaks 12-Year Stalemate, Revives Abandoned Oko Water Supply Project

Hon. Ojo Sunday Makanjuola, also known as SMATO), representing Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency, has made a bold statement of leadership by taking decisive action to complete the long-abandoned Oko Water Supply Project. 

This vital infrastructure, left incomplete for over 12 years by the immediate past administration, is now set to transform the lives of constituents under SMATO’s visionary leadership.  

Initially spearheaded by the Federal Ministry of Water Resources under the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority, the project had suffered years of neglect, leaving the Oko community without access to a dependable water supply. Today, the narrative is changing as Hon. Makanjuola breathes new life into the initiative, signalling the dawn of a new era for the constituency.  

In a statement issued on Monday by the SMATO Media Bureau, it was emphasized that Hon. Makanjuola has mobilized resources and re-engaged contractors to expedite the project’s completion. 

His visit to the project site alongside key stakeholders, including Hon. Banji Folaranmi and Hon. Ogundiran Israel marked a symbolic and practical restart to what is now a top priority under his administration.  

“After over a decade of stagnation, Hon. SMATO has demonstrated that effective leadership means prioritizing the needs of the people. By reigniting the Oko Water Supply Project, he is addressing a fundamental issue that has plagued the community for years,” the statement read.  

Hon. Makanjuola’s intervention goes beyond mere governance—it reflects a deep commitment to sustainable development and human welfare. The Oko Water Supply Project is no longer a dormant relic of unfulfilled promises but a beacon of hope for thousands in Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency  

As the project progresses toward completion, it is poised to bring immense benefits, including improved access to clean water, enhanced public health, and better living standards. The initiative also underscores Hon. Makanjuola’s resolve to deliver impactful, people-focused governance.  

By taking charge where previous administrations failed, SMATO is not just completing a water supply project—he is rewriting the story of leadership and accountability in Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere. The community now looks forward to the tangible dividends of a promise fulfilled, thanks to a leader who prioritizes action over rhetoric.  

With SMATO at the helm, progress is no longer a distant hope but an achievable reality.
