Private sector exclusion fuelling water, sanitation crisis — Presidential committee member

A member of a presidential committee in Nigeria has identified the exclusion of private sector investment as a primary driver of the ongoing water and sanitation crisis. This exclusion, they argue, hinders the necessary development and maintenance of essential services. The committee member emphasized that reforms are crucial to encourage private sector participation and address the widespread lack of access to clean water and adequate sanitation facilities across the nation.

Addressing the water and sanitation crisis is vital for public health, economic development, and improving the quality of life for millions of Nigerians.
