The management of the Ekiti State Water and Sewerage Company conducted an extensive technical working visit to the Lagos Water Corporation Headquarters in Ijora on Monday, July 6, 2026. Led by the Managing Director, Mr. Wole Afolabi, the Ekiti delegation held bilateral talks with the host Managing Director, Engr. Mukhtaar Tijani, to study the deployment of advanced Crawler Robotic Technology and Geographic Information System mapping. The engagement served to establish a inter-state knowledge-sharing framework to modernize water utility administration across both sub-national governments.
The technical collaboration allows the Ekiti State Water Company to study operational solutions for its own aging pipeline assets, high physical water losses, and revenue constraints. Under the Lagos Water Corporation's Strategic Business Plan, crawler robots inspect deep underground transmission mains to locate faults and minimize Non-Revenue Water. By integrating these practices with digital GIS platforms that map valves, pumps, and reservoirs, the Ekiti water desk aims to transition into data-driven asset management and introduce Public-Private Partnerships to stabilize clean water distribution.
This inter-state public utility collaboration underscores an evolving sub-national commitment to technological modernization and fiscal accountability in public resource management. By copying validated, data-driven diagnostic systems from a peer utility, the Ekiti State Government avoids high engineering trial-and-error costs. Implementing digital asset tracking and structural leakage controls improves long-term public service delivery, limits water infrastructure vandalism, and builds institutional capacity to handle growing urban demographics safely.
