He will be speaking on the theme of this year’s WWD – ‘Accelerating Change.’
According to the United Nations, “World Water Day celebrates and raises awareness of billions of people living without access to safe water. It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis. A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.”
Commenting on the event, the Senior Director, External Affairs CWAY Nigeria Drinking Water Science & Technology Co. Ltd, Mr. Tony Ojumoola says, “At CWAY, we recognize the importance of safe and clean drinking water, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to it. Since we began operations in Nigeria over 2 decades ago, we have made significant contributions towards providing clean drinking water to millions of Nigerians. Our commitment to this cause has not wavered, and we will continue to do more.
“We have invested heavily in modern technology and equipment that allows us to produce high-quality water that meets international standards.
