According to the Country Representative of
WaterAid in Nigeria, Michael Ojo, “About 63.6
million people in Nigeria do not have access to
safe drinking water, while 103 million do not
have access to sanitation”.
In virtually all urban Nigerian cities, it has now
become a routine to see most women and
children roaming the streets in search for clean
water.
Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun state, is not left out
in this menace and it seem it is even worse in
the rock city.
Residents of the city are always in search of
water and when they don’t see, they make do
with water from different unhealthy sources.
Naij.com photographer went round the city and
brought back pictures of women and children
hustling for water.

drowned in a pond at Enwugba village in
Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi state
when they went to the pond to draw

we still have a long way to go in Nigeria


I believe this water scarcity is very common in every part of the country not abeokuta alone


how I wish nigerians can come together as one for the development of our nation in respective of tribe or religion
but never.
tribalism, religious war, corruption is what we worship in this part of the world


may God deliver us !!!

This is a state that produced a former President of this great country that was in power for a long time....


This is 2015, we have spent 16 good years of democracy, people are still suffering for ordinary water, water, water, hmmm. Too bad.


One of the largest oil producing countries, citizens are fetching water from gutters! The same town produced great men in this country .....

Electricity is even a dream ....then security is only for the top politicians and their families. Vanity upon vanity.

There is God....
