Title: Expression of Interest (EoI) for a Technical and Commercial/Financial Assessment of three Waterworks

Location: Lagos State

Introduction

Lagos State is a coastal state in southwestern Nigeria, with a population of about 22 million people according to the 2022 estimate by the state's bureau of statistic. It is the smallest state in terms of land area, but arguably the most economically important state of the country.
It is a major financial centre and would be the fifth-largest economy in Africa if it were a country. Established in 1967 from the former Western Region and the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos State served as the federal capital of Nigeria until 1991. It is administratively divided into 20 local government areas and 36 Local Council Development Authorities, with its capital situated in Ikeja.
Addressing the crucial task of providing adequate and safe water supply to its residents falls under the purview of the Lagos Water Corporation (LWC). However, one of the pressing challenges faced by Lagos State is ensuring sufficient access to safe water. According to the Lagos State 2013 household survey, only 11 percent of households in Lagos State had access to piped water supply from LWC.Operational efficiency presents a significant challenge.
Out of the 48 mini and micro waterworks, only 12 are presently operational, working at an average capacity of 20 percent. The remaining waterworks face various issues; three have been decommissioned, one serves as a booster station. These facilities vary in size, design, age, and condition, ranging from those commissioned as far back as 1975 to others as recently as 2015.
Unfortunately, many of them grapple with operational and maintenance difficulties that significantly impact their performance and reliability. Resolving these challenges is crucial for enhancing water supply services in Lagos State.
WaterAid Nigeria is carrying out these assessments to be better informed of the status of the water works ahead of a potential intervention/rehabilitation.
Three water works to be assessed are
- The Ikorodu 2 MGD Waterworks
- Iwaya 1 MGD Waterworks.
- Ojokoro 2 MGD waterworks.
