CWAY Drinking Water Science & Technology Company marked World Water Day 2026 by renewing its commitment to providing safe, reliable, and affordable drinking water across Nigeria.

At an event hosted at its Lagos headquarters, CWAY emphasized the importance of equitable access to clean water, reflecting this year’s global theme linking water access, gender equality, and sustainable development.

Company executives noted that CWAY’s operations go beyond bottled and refillable water production, contributing significantly to job creation through its production facilities, distribution networks, and logistics partnerships that ensure last-mile delivery to homes and businesses.

Management also highlighted ongoing upgrades to production and refill systems, describing them as critical measures to improve consumer convenience, reduce water wastage, and promote sustainable consumption patterns.

Senior marketing executives further stressed that access to potable water is a shared social responsibility, noting:

“Water is central to daily living, public health, and economic productivity, and should not be treated as a resource limited by gender roles or socio-economic status.”

The event featured a keynote lecture by a marine science academic from the University of Lagos, who warned of mounting pressures on freshwater resources due to population growth, climate change, and inadequate infrastructure. The academic urged both government and private sector stakeholders to intensify efforts toward securing long-term water sustainability.

As part of its outreach, CWAY organized a national essay competition for secondary school students focused on water sustainability and gender inclusion. The competition attracted entries from schools in Lagos and Ogun states, with top performers receiving cash prizes, water dispensers, and product supplies for their contributions.

Beyond Lagos, CWAY extended World Water Day activities to other regions, including community engagement in Enugu with free bottled water distribution in major markets, and an awareness walk in Abuja to educate residents on responsible water use and conservation.

CWAY affirmed its ongoing commitment to integrating advocacy, youth engagement, and infrastructure investment into its corporate social responsibility strategy, positioning itself as a manufacturer and an active participant in national conversations around water security, sustainability, and public health.
