What's The Function Of This Structure Please? by Herodutus(m): 1:16pm On Jun 04, 2022
I often see this structure in every major city I have been to in Nigeria.

Each time I do wonder what the function may be, given the fact that it must have cost a lot of money to erect it.

Can someone tell me what its used for please

Nigeria has gone really down, so much down that citizens do not even know what is meant by government services again!
As you said, in the days gone by when public water system works, who wouldn't have known the usefulness of this water reservoir.
In my own town, we have one that is cylindrical in shape with a yellow scale beside it. When the scale marker is down, you know that, very soon water will flow! But now they are monuments that our children do not even know their usage again embarassed

That's the structure of the States water company that provides water to its environ. BTW even without making any input to our individuals source of getting water, people are still being enlisted as staffs under the ministry of mineral resources, both the workers as and minister is being paid from government cophers for doing entirely nothing.

Water tanks. This was when Nigeria was actually working back in the 1880s, not now that the government can't even provide basic needs like water let alone infrastructures.

It's water reservoir, it's placed up because as the water is falling from that height, it generates enough energy from easy distribution of water .

There is one in sango Ota. Most of these structures are abandoned, never completed.

There are shit tons of abandoned projects in Nigeria.
Not due to lack of funds but corruption because most of these have been fully paid for.
