The Managing Director of the Lagos Water Corporation Engr. Mukhtaar Tijani has affirmed his commitment to the provision of water supply in Lagos State.
The LWC MD reiterated this commitment as he joined 300 water leaders across the globe at the Global Water Summit (GWS) 2025, hosted at the Paris Marriot Rive Gauche Hotel, from 12 – 14 May, 2025.
In a world that has crossed the 1.5°C threshold, water security faces unprecedented pressure.

“I am a member of 300 Water leaders.
“The 300 water leader is a global initiative hinged on the SDG – Sustainable Development Goal – Number 6, which aims to provide water to 300 million people.”
He further explained that the water leaders meet every year to see how they can network and meet possible financeers and collaborations to see how they can enhance the Lagos Water Corporation’s portfolio.
