The Platform for African Women in Smart Climate Agriculture has unveiled its plan to explore the benefits of water technology.
In a statement, the Nigerian representative of the PAWISCA, Bishop Bola Oyegbami, disclosed this during a news conference in Lagos.
Oyegbami added that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, state governors and other dignitaries were expected at the upcoming inauguration of the foundation in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
She said, “In PAWISCA, we have four major projects and Lagos State is a pilot project for all other states to replicate. The first one is water technology. In water technology, we are going to take our water from the Atlantic Ocean.
“This is salty water but we are doing something similar to what is in operation in Dubai. In the Atlantic Ocean now, the process by which you can remove the salt is by desalination. This is what we are going to do. But the plant and machinery we are going to use will come all the way from the United States of America.
“PAWISCA is an initiative for women found in the USA. Our leader is Mrs Mariam Omalla-Gavin. She will be in Nigeria for the inauguration in November 1, 2022. Our grand patron is former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, he will declare the inauguration open in the presidential library in Abeokuta.”
She added that, “In our agricultural and agribusiness value chain project plan, we wish to, through our policy programme on quality assurance/quality control value chain and total quality organic agro and allied products, hope to produce goods of high quality in our integrated value-chain agro-industrial part that will meet the international standard under a competitive free market economy.”
