Nigeria is very rich in water resources that many of its 36 states are named after rivers; Rivers: Benue, Niger, Cross Rivers, Kaduna, and Plateau (Nelson Odume, Rhodes University, 2017). The country has many water reserves which is higher than many African countries. It is only normal then that one would think that Nigerians have enough water to drink, but the reverse is the case as only 19% of the country’s population have access to safe drinking water.
