Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria and Ogun State Ministry of Environment hosted a stakeholders\u2019 forum on 22nd March to commemorate World Water Day 2023. Aimed at promoting sustainable water stewardship practices, the forum had over 400 stakeholders drawn from the public and private sectors across Ogun State.<\/p>\n

\"\"World Water Day is a United Nations\u2019 observance day to raise awareness about the inaccessibility of water for billions of people globally and to advocate the sustainable management of freshwater resources. Without access to water resources, communities are faced with higher risk of disease, food insecurity, environmental degradation, and
\neconomic decline.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s event, \u201cAccelerating Change\u201d, draws attention to the need for fast-tracking actions to solve the global water and sanitation crisis.<\/p>\n

Oladimeji Oresanya, Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, said, \u201cThe event today is not just another talk show, but an opportunity for productive engagement with all stakeholders
\nto undertake a critical diagnosis of issues affecting the sector to proffer practical and sustainable solutions. Be assured that the Ministry is committed to accelerating positive change in the water sector to ensure water and sanitation for all in line with Sustainable Development Goal 6. I commend companies who have embraced water stewardship and are executing initiatives and projects, towards sustainable water management and governance in the state\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wassim Elhusseini, MD\/CEO Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria PLC, represented by Category and Marketing Manager Nestl\u00e9 Waters, Joy Abdullahi-Johnson, said, \u201cWe are delighted to have this opportunity to celebrate World Water Day 2023 in collaboration with the Ogun State Ministry of Environment. The theme for this year, \u201cAccelerating Change\u201d is very significant in view of our shared commitment to increase access to clean, safe water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities (WASH) within our communities. Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria is committed to protecting the environment for future generations and caring for water is one of the ways we do this. In line with this commitment, we work together with key stakeholders to address shared watershed challenges. We also continuously improve water efficiency across our operations and reduce water withdrawals in our factories by managing and reusing water\u201d.<\/p>\n

Delivering the keynote lecture, the Managing Director, Ogun Oshun River Basin Development Authority, Otunba Olufemi Odumosu said,\u201cWater is essential to ife, but water stress threatens supplies. Providing access to safe water is one of the most effective instruments for poverty
\nalleviation and reduction. This year\u2019s theme emphasizes the need to speed up action towards sustainable management of this limited resource, with only 7 years left to achieve the SDGs\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to Sola Ogunbor, the Program Manager, Ogun State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency, \u201cMismanagement of water resources today will cost everyone a lot more in the future.<\/p>\n

Accelerating change entails making a difference by taking smal steps in the right direction, being the change we want to see in the world. Our Agency is committed to ensuring that more people in our rural communities in Ogun State have unrestricted access to safely managed water and sanitation facilities\u201d.<\/p>

The World Water Day 2023 celebration included the second edition of the roundtable discourse on\u201cWater Governance in Ogun State\u2013Progress so far, Challenges and Roadmap\u201d.<\/p>\n

Panelists from the private and public sectors in Agbara and Sagamu comprised Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria PLC, Apple and Pears, Ogun State Ministry of Environment, Ogun State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency, Ogun Oshun River Basin Development Authority and the Nigerian Institute of Water Engineers.<\/p>\n

Water is a shared and precious resource that affects everyone. It is the most critical natural resource for human survival, after air. Yet, globally, billions of people do not have access to clean and safe water. An estimated 100 million Nigerians still lack basic sanitation facilities and 63 million do not have access to improved sources of drinking water.<\/p>\n

With the increasing pressure on our water resources, we all need to work together to preserve this vital resource we al depend on. Consistent multi-stakeholder action is required to accelerate change in how we manage this resource to improve access and quality for today while preserving it for future generations.<\/p>\n
