SMATO Promises Running Water Within Weeks, Ends 12 Years of Neglect on Oko Water Project
In a groundbreaking achievement that ends over a decade of neglect and administrative nonchalance, Hon. Ojo Sunday Makanjuola (SMATO), the House of Representatives member for Ogooluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency, has assured constituents that the long-abandoned Oko Water Project will be fully operational within weeks.
The Oko Water Supply Project, originally initiated by the Federal Ministry of Water Resources under the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority, languished for 12 years due to the inconsideration and lack of vision from the immediate past administration. Its abandonment caused untold hardship for the Oko community, denying residents access to one of the most basic human necessities: clean and reliable water.
Under Hon. Makanjuola’s leadership, the narrative has changed. A statement released on Sunday by the SMATO Media Bureau revealed that the project has now been completed and is undergoing final testing before being made operational. This milestone marks a sharp contrast to years of stagnation under previous administrations.
“After visiting the project site this week, I can confidently assure the good people of Ogooluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency that the Oko Water Project, abandoned for over 12 years, is now completed,” Hon. SMATO said. “The water system is currently undergoing testing and will be operational in just a few weeks.”
The statement further emphasized the significance of this achievement: “Through Hon. SMATO’s proactive leadership and decisive actions, he has not only resurrected this long-neglected project but also demonstrated an unwavering commitment to serving his people. By prioritizing this critical infrastructure, he is paving the way for better living standards and reliable access to essential services for his constituents.”
The completion of the Oko Water Project stands as a monumental testament to Hon. Makanjuola’s effective governance and dedication to his constituency. It highlights his ability to step in where past administrations failed, transforming a symbol of neglect into a beacon of hope and progress.
The project’s impending operation will bring far-reaching benefits to the Oko community, including improved public health, enhanced economic opportunities, and better quality of life. More importantly, it serves as a stark reminder of the failures of previous administrations, which for 12 years allowed this vital initiative to stagnate.
With SMATO at the helm, the Oko Water Project is no longer a relic of abandoned promises but a reality that symbolizes the dawn of purposeful and transformative leadership.
