A coalition for water justice has insisted that Lagos Water Corporation, LWC, must convene a genuine broad-based meeting of all stakeholders over the proposed pilot Public-Private Partnership, PPP, scheme for seven (7) mini- and micro-waterworks in the state.
The coalition comprises the Renevlyn Development Initiative, RDI; Citizens Free Service Forum, CFSF; Environmental Defenders Network, EDEN; Child Health Organisation, CHO; Ecumenical Water Network Africa/Blue Communities Africa, EWNA/BCA, and New Life Community Care Initiative, NELCCI.
According to them, a broad-based stakeholders’ meeting on the water crisis in the state will explore likely solutions, including the proposed Public Partnership model.
But when a Thursday, September 18 meeting was fixed, the coalition observed that the stated objectives of the meeting do not address the concerns they raised at a September 9 meeting with the Lagos House of Assembly “where we expressed disinterest in the PPP as the silver bullet to the Lagos water crisis.”
So they rejected the meeting.
