Again, AUPCTRE rejects water privatisation, seeks viable public sector options

The Lagos State chapter of the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) has again rejected attempts by the state government to privatize water in the state. The Secretary General of AUPCTRE, Abiodun Bakare, said “government officials have at different times declared that government can no longer manage the corporation hence it was considering privatization. Our union sees this declaration as a self-indictment on the part of the management of the Lagos State Water Corporation.”
