Hon. Femi Akindele of Ekiti State House of Assembly discussed the potential of public-private partnerships (PPP) in the water sector at an event organized by the Ecumenical Water Network, emphasizing that free water provision is impractical.

He suggested that urban areas should pay for water while it is subsidized for rural communities, citing a successful metered water project in Ado despite ongoing challenges from road construction. The event aimed to foster dialogue on water as a human right and engage various stakeholders.
