Operationally, the state government largely was unable

to meet its water and sanitation targets; the operational Chapter 3: Development Issues in Ile-Ife Planning Area efficiency of water schemes was only about one-quarter of the installed capacity; cost per unit of water supply rose; and the proportion of connections that were 41 metered was less than five percent. Technical, financial and administrative constraints face the water schemes. Although there are several institutions for the coordination of inter-governmental activities in Nigeria, including water and sanitation, a number of challenges remain in this regard such as inadequate specification of policy parameters for tiers of government, including water quality. 1

The planning area has significant water resources potentials that can be tapped and exploited to provide adequate water supply. These include surface water and groundwater.

6.3.2 Water Supply Projections and 28,350 MW by 2015. With an estimated population of approximately 160 million people, electricity According to the National Water Policy of January consumption per capita in Nigeria was projected to 2000, areas with populations greater than 20,000 be 145 W as at 2012. However, the actual figures for inhabitants (classified as urban areas) require a water electricity supply attained are much lower. This value supply provision of 120 litres per capita per day. As may however not be generally applicable since the such, in line with the projected population of level of socio-economic development differs across the the Planning Area, water demand projections for various states in Nigeria. Ile-Ife Planning Area are as shown in Table 6.6 below. Therefore, making use of a per capital consumption of 6.3.3 Electricity Demand Projections 145W, the annual power requirement for the Planning Area was calculated and is shown in Table Accurate projections on electricity demand are not 6.7 below. The estimated figures are based on the readily available. However, data provided by the assumption that electricity demand will grow at 7% Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN, 2005), taking annually. From the computation, electrical power a growth scenario of 7%, electricity demand in Nigeria demand in the Planning Area will vary from about was put at 15,730 MW by 2010, 23,302 MW by 2012 130 MW at the moment to about 748 MW by 2035.

105 Unprecedented population and spatial growth experienced over the past half Century in the State of Osun, South West Nigeria, has resulted in various undesired conditions in its cities. These include haphazard and uncoordinated physical development, overcrowding and congestion within inner city neighborhoods, inadequate provision of infrastructure and services, as well as deteriorating social and environmental conditions, which make the cities generally unsustainable and unable to support the state’s development objectives anchored on its Six-Point Integral Action Plan.

The Osun Structure Plans Project was therefore initiated to address the challenges of unsustainable urbanization using the Rapid Urban Sector Profiling for Sustainability (RUSPS) methodology and also guide the development of the nine largest cities over the next 20 years, as a follow-up to the ongoing ‘O-Renewal’ regeneration programme for core areas in these cities.

The Structure Plan for Ile-Ife and Environs seeks to build capacity and aid strategic decision- making with main focus on setting the broad structure for the direction of future growth of the city, taking account of topographical, environmental and socio-economic constraints and considerations; providing for the co-ordination of present and future commercial activities and public services as well as proposing a staged urban development strategy within growth corridors to maximize efficiency in the provision of key infrastructure and services.
