The Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Dr Ali Ahmad has disclosed that the state government has earmarked about N1bn for the completion of Ilorin phase II water reticulation project in the 2016 budget.
He expressed hope that once the on-going reticulation is completed, the water scarcity in Ilorin metropolis would be a thing of the past.
Ahmad added that the assembly would ensure judicious spending of every money allocated for projects in the 2016 budget through constant oversight function.
However, he challenged the leadership of the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union(IEDPU) and other developmental associations to fashion out means of addressing the problem of open defecation in the state capital.
