NPA Revives Apapa Water Works Neglected Since 2012

The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has resuscitated the 2.4 million gallons per day Apapa Water Works, which has been moribund since 2012.
Speaking during the handover of the resuscitated facility in Apapa, Managing Director of NPA, Mohammed Bello Koko, said the gesture was a “response to the existential needs of our operating environment is a top priority on our corporate social responsibility agenda and this explains why we gave speedy approval to the request for resuscitation of the Apapa Water Works, which had been moribund since 2012.”
This development came on the heels of the rehabilitation of the Accident and Emergency Ward at the Apapa General Hospital, as well as the acquisition and deployment of a first-of-its-kind incinerator in Africa for efficient waste management by the NPA management under Koko’s administration.
Managing Director, Lagos State Water Corporation, Chairman of Apapa Local Government Area, Mrs. Idowu Shebanjo, accompanied by the Chairman and officials of the Apapa Residents Association (ARA) commended the NPA management for the gesture and assured of proper maintenance of the facility to ensure its functionality and sustainability.
