Ekiti State Commissioner for Infrastructure and Public Utilities, Prof
Mobolaji Aluko has assured Ekiti people of access to improved and
sustainable water supply, sanitation and hygiene.

 Prof. Aluko who gave the assurance in Ado-Ekiti while receiving a
Federal Program Implementation Unit team on a technical support
mission to the State, said that the State Government was already
tackling the issue of erratic supply of electricity to the State which
is a major factor in ensuring satisfactory provision of water.

He noted that electricity power supply is a key determinant of the
success or failure of efforts to provide potable water to the people.

According to him, Sanitation and Hygiene can only be achieved when
people have access to Water supply, adding that Government would
therefore leave no stone unturned towards achieving the target
objectives  of SURWASH Program.

 In his remarks, the National Program Coordinator, Engineer Abudulhmed
Gwaram explained that the purpose of their visit was to address the
critical risks and issues that may hinder efficiency and performance
towards achieving the year 2 target.

He advised implementing agencies to seek assistance from the Federal
Program Implementation Unit (FPIU) and State Program Implementation
Unit (SPIU) whenever the need arises.

He emphasized the importance attached to end result, number of
beneficiaries and the procedures that the Independent Verification
Agency would follow for clearing and disbursement, stressing the need
for Implementing Agencies to do proper documentation of every activity
carried out under the program.
