Rhodes-Vivour Slams Lagos Government Over Threat to Seal Boreholes

In a statement released on Monday, Rhodes-Vivour lambasted the government’s move, stating it would be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of Lagos residents. According to The Whistler Newspaper, the Lagos State Government has been planning to seal boreholes across the state as part of an ongoing effort to regulate water supply. However, Rhodes-Vivour argued that the action would worsen the water crisis in the densely populated city, particularly in areas where residents rely on these boreholes for their daily water needs. The Mayor further highlighted the importance of boreholes in providing clean water to Lagosians, especially during the ongoing dry season. The Lagos State Government has not yet responded to the allegations, but this story matters to Nigerian readers as it sheds light on the ongoing water crisis in Lagos and the government’s approach to addressing it.
