Abstract:
Access to water, sanitation, and hygiene is a major human right necessary for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Sustainable access to an improved water and sanitation has a strong relationship with healthy and productive life as well as environmental sustainability. Efforts at ensuring access to clean and proper sanitation have witnessed tremendous progress globally and also at local levels. Specifically, poor accessibility to clean water has gross implications on socioeconomic development, personal hygiene and places the health of about 40 million Nigerians at risk of disease like cholera, typhoid, trachoma, dengue-fever and ascariasis; a threat to sustainable development goals.
