A national study group has rated only seven states in Nigeria clean while 30 states are swimming in dirty environments.

According to the National Technical Study Group for Nation’s Cleanliness Performance Index Ratings, [/b]the clean states include Akwa Ibom, Abuja, Cross River, Bauchi, Ebonyi, Lagos and Kaduna who scored above 15 per cent out of the 30 per cent on the streets/roads cleanliness indicators.[b]
The report wondered why Nigeria with an estimated population of 270 million people overtake India with a population of 1.4 billion people (a country that has a total world population of 17.7 per cent) ranking second to China with a population of 1.6 billion people to become the country with the highest ranking in open defecation.

“Performance indicators from our studies show that over 172.7 million Nigerians in 2021 are living in unclean environment, compared to 170 million in 2020” it said.

In the study, only four states in the country namely Lagos, Oyo, Abuja and Bauchi have sanitary landfills, while the remaining 33 states operate open dumping.



“This development is not only alarming but calls for urgent intervention in addressing the menace.

“[/b]On personal hygiene and sanitation only three states (Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Abuja City) scored above 3 per cent of the 10 per cent and can be said to come close to possession of good personal hygiene/sanitation practices in the country[b]

“[/b]On the average, only four states (Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Kaduna and Bauchi) can be considered to be clean having scored above 40 per cent respectively.[b]

“As observed from our satellite imagery 95 per cent of the states/towns in the country recorded poor performance under the five variables, in our performance indicators (street/road cleanliness, vegetation control/distilting, waste management services, public opinion pool and knowledge and attitude and practice of hygiene and sanitation). [/b]Except states like Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi and Kaduna including Abuja metropolis however stepped up their environmental activities during the period under review (2021)” he said.[b]

Borno, Osun, Kogi lead dirtiest states – Clean-Up Nigeria

Benue must be one of them dirty states

Imagine Hausa land wey clean

Abia will score number one in dirty states followed by Oyo

Rating Lagos as clean implies the measure of cleanliness may need be defined properly as it is surely different from the literal definition for cleanliness.

The first 19 states should come from North.
After that, we believe the report that follows suit.

Abia state should do better....being neighbors with the cleanest state should atleast Rob off a little on them, but so far, thats not the story

I think the culture of cleaning and caring for the environment is deficient in most Nigerians.

We dispose dirt indiscriminately....on the road, in water channels, and what not....its same us who would complain that the environment is dirty. Same Nigerians when they go abroad do the right thing. Why then do we do what we do here in Nigerian

Everyone has the responsibility to keep the environment clean

Also the respective state , should have facilities to collect dirt at various locations and ensure it is regularly disposed off


A clean environment is not rocket science.

Abia leads ... Aba alone covers that of the whole world!!!

I know a region

Onitsha, especially onitsha market side is hell

that one na Yuroba food...dirty

Abia state (aba) . Most dirty

Imo was once the cleanest state, now a dungeon. How times change

Lagos?
It's alright.
Maybe they checked the Lagos in Portugal and used it to rate the Lagos in Nigeria.

Most states in Nigeria are dirty, maybe, except Abuja. Lagos is definitely dirty and should not be on that list

Many years of Calabar/Efik/Ibibio people doing house hell work may be responsible for their high cleanliness score. They just keep cleaning

I know Bauchi must be among.....

30 states, how many com remain

BAYELSA

Lagos even top the list

What the fuck_ exactly on earth is Lagos doing there in that list?

Stupid rating no southeast state more clean than Kwara state.

Awkabigboy:
Abia will score number one in dirty states followed by Oyo

Realtalk20:
The Whole.southwest is dirty!! that Lagos is one pig slum .. that's how they bring their dirtiness to my Edo state . They are really a dirty race of pigs.. anywhere south westerners they dirty the place... Edo state used to be very clean until we started having them come in their hundreds fleeing being raped by their Fulani masters
Just move around Lagos and you will know how dirty that state is. Forget propaganda the south west is the dirtiest place on planet earth . Every sane person knows how dirty Lagos is . The giant rats and cockroaches infested streets will tell you what's up

What's this one saying?

We're talking of animals that has horn, Snail to dey come out
