Ogun State Deputy Governor, Noimot Salako-Oyedele, has appealed to the 2027 All Progressive Congress Ogun governorship candidate, Senator Adeola Olamilekan (Yayi) to help address the lack of pipe-borne water in her indigenous Local Government Area, Ado-Odo\/Ota.\n<\/p>\n

Salako-Oyedele made the appeal at a Monday stakeholders\u2019 meeting during Yayi\u2019s visit to Ado-Odo\/Ota Local Government Area, where she highlighted the area\u2019s infrastructure and housing needs and urged the senator to intervene in an abandoned Federal Ministry of Water Resources project.\n<\/p>\n

She asked residents whether any household in the local government had access to pipe-borne water.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cCorrect me if I\u2019m wrong, there is no house in Ado-Odo\/Ota Local Government Area that has pipe-borne water. Am I right? Does anybody have pipe-borne water?\u201d she asked and the residents confirmed her claims.<\/p>\n

The deputy governor said the Federal Ministry of Water Resources project had remained uncompleted despite repeated attempts to secure funding.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cEach time they come, they go and get some institutional funding, and then something happens and it never gets done at the federal level,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She appealed to Yayi to intervene in the rehabilitation of the Iju Water Works.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease help us look at it. Rehabilitation of Iju Water Works and water, so that our children can know that they can turn the tap and water will flow. We appreciate you looking at that for us,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n

Salako-Oyedele also drew attention to the rapid population growth in the local government, citing the number of new voters registered in the area this year.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe population growth in our local government is exponential. This year alone, we have registered over 40,000 new members to vote. 40,000 new people to vote,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n

She said the increase suggested that many people had moved into the area, noting that each person represented a family or household.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you can imagine the number of people that have moved into this place because each person represents a family, or at least two of them represent a family. So that is probably a population growth of a couple of hundred thousand,\u201d she added.\n<\/p>\n

The deputy governor called for the development of modern housing estates in the local government, saying, \u201cWe need modern housing estates in this local government.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

She also noted that the state government had carried out some development projects in the area.<\/p>\n
