The Kwara State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASSA) has organised a one-day training workshop for the state enumerators involved in the Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene Baseline Survey (WASH) in data acquisition.

The workshop is in collaboration with the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), an international donor agency that promotes the rights and well-being of every child in the country. 

Speaking at the training, held at Rotana Event Hall, Rotana Hotel, Fate Road, Ilorin, the Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Usman Yunusa Lade disclosed that the basis for organising the training is a demonstration of the state government's commitment to the well-being of the people in the state.

Declaring the workshop open, Lade enjoined the participants to pay adequate attention to the resource persons in order to assimilate the required skills necessary for data processing and analysis.

He stressed that the participants should, after the training, carry out the expected needs assessment of their primary assignments thoroughly to allow the state government to make an informed decision of the facilities to be provided.

Earlier, the General Manager of RUWASSA, Mr. Olorunfemi Oladipo disclosed that the state government has paid its counterpart funding, describing it as a good gesture that has brought the establishment back to its responsibilities in the last 20 years.

The general manager explained that the participants were drawn from the various communities that comprise the 16 local government areas of the state.

Oladipo thanked the state government and UNICEF for creating the enabling environment for the agency to organise the training that helps to facilitate the partnership for expansion of Water Supply, Sanitation, and hygiene (P-WASH) Programme in the state.
