The Lagos State Government is quick to threaten and punish residents for sinking “illegal” boreholes, yet shows little urgency in fulfilling its most basic responsibility to provide clean, safe and potable water to millions of households. A government that cannot guarantee access to water has no moral justification for criminalising the desperate efforts of citizens to meet this basic human need. This is the tragedy of APC governance. An administration with little understanding of the public good, more interested in rent-seeking, and using regulation as a tool of exploitation. For the many name changes from AD to APC , One thing has stayed consistent, this government doesn't not prioritise the need for people to have drinking water, despite hundreds of million dollars in loans and grants taking even the water corporation offices themselves have no water. The APC met 10 mini waterworks that Jakande built as well as Adiyan Water Works Phase II was 80% complete. They claimed that it was 85% complete in December 2025. As of today, it is STILL not functioning. Lagosians are surrounded by water, yet they have no access to government provided potable water, Yet this criminal government forget that access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental human right. They are never passionate about service delivery , their passion is only activated when they can take more money from people that are barely getting by, inspite of their failures to deliver services that justify the taxes and IGR they generate. #Ourlagos
