After ranking as the number one country in open defecation, Nigeria again ranks as the poorest in the provision of potable water supply to its citizens.

The Managing Director of Taraba Water and Sewerage Corporation (TAWASCO) Mr Buba Siam, disclosed this at a Knowledge Cafe (Mu-Gana) quarterly meeting between TAWASCO, E-WASH and CSOs involved in the E-WASH projects in the state.

Siam said that despite efforts by the Corporation to ensure adequate water supply to citizens of the state, a lack of adequate funding has continued to militate against achieving the objective.

He regretted that despite abundant water resources, Nigerians still do not have potable water due largely to government negligence and a lack of political will.

“It is so sad that we live in an environment that is suffering serious degradation due to human activities,” Siam said.

“Sanitation has become a global issue of serious concern. Regrettably, despite abundant water resources, most Nigerians still do not have potable water on their tables.

“Nigeria is ranked poorest in terms of water supply to her citizens in the whole of Africa.

“In Taraba State, despite our conscious efforts, we have not been able to meet the water demands of our customers.

“Water supply and sanitation are capital intensive and without adequate funding, there is little the utility companies can do,” he said.

Civil society organisations who spoke at the meeting noted that there are still a lot of households in the state capital that are not yet connected to water supply channels and regretted the preference for open defecation by most people especially in the rural areas and the lack of toilet facilities in public spaces.

The Taraba State Government recently signed into law a bill that has made the state’s water agency a full corporation for better service delivery and profitability.

Hope it's not a way to bamboozle Nigerians by saying it is Equity and not Loan.
Government should ask Italy ..how market?
China developed a port in Italy...now Italy has been held by the balls.

Coffins of coronavirus victims were transported on a fleet of army trucks last night after a cemetery in northern Italy was overwhelmed by the death toll.

An army spokesman confirmed today that 15 trucks and 50 soldiers, some of which are pictured, had been deployed to move bodies from Bergamo to neighbouring provinces.

The column of army trucks brought the dead out of Bergamo on Wednesday night in what Italians have called 'one of the saddest photos in the history of our country'.

The cemetery in Bergamo can no longer cope with the mounting death toll in the city, where more than 4,300 people have been infected and at least 93 have died.

Mortuaries are full and crematorium staff have been handling 24 bodies a day, including the regular drumbeat of non-virus deaths, meaning the bodies of virus victims have had to be dispatched to neighbouring provinces.

Hmm, I see China taking over most of our national assets in the near future if we can't fund or pay back our loans

China giving out funds to claim assets in the Future......same thing they have done to US after releasing corona virus.

BUHARI SHARE OUR MONEY

festacman:
The good news is that the following key policies of Pres. Buhari have laid groundwork for Nigeria to successfully navigate the emerging economic challenges.
- The providential local rice production that creates jobs and saves millions of dollars
- The Anchor Borrowers’ Programme, which boosts agricultural production and diversified forex earning capacity away from oil
- The ban of importation of certain products to encourage local production and conserve forex
- Deliberately conservative management of budgetary allocations that save billions of Naira annually
- Implementation of Treasury Single Account (TSA), which blocked leakages

The presidential committee should, therefore, build their ideas and initiatives around these policies and ramp up things.

If anything, it is becoming obvious that Buhari presidency is made for challenging times that require sincere hard decisions. Having survived the post-PDP recession, we will, as usual by grace of God, survive the emerging COVID-19 induced economic shocks.

God bless Nigeria

Mmuoojukwu:
God has answered APC and buhari. Remember, at the beginning of the government, they were lying up and down that oil price had crashed, now they've seen what they prayed for. God is dealing with liars. This is just the beginning. Propaganda doesn't run a government. It will be hard for APC to end without a revolution in Nigeria. We are watching the confusion transmission commission.

Racoon:
So you forced yourself on Nigeria only to be giving excuses? Governance or administering people is always a challenge. So man up or ship out.

ThinkB4mention:
I see ..... What about other sheddy deals he normally do?

El rufy that declared his status was seen yesterday parading with the taskforce on the street

ThinkB4mention:
Is it compulsory he must declare his health status publicly.......you guys should let him b......
Op how sure are you that you aren't positive?
All these politicians are knowing their status because they influential... And they don't want to die......the poor masses are roaming around with the virus ..... because they are Rather scared or don't have the opportunity to test

Sokosuji:

Seun should share money to people on nairaland.. I won't buy that oh he is shy,oh he doesn't show off etc ..show off is good ..it challenges others to help ,and it is also good for biz.. Guy,you are making a pile of jack now that people are home, doing nothing but press fones.. #seundogiveawayjor#

sapientia:
One of Buhari's campaign point in 2015 was stopping medical tourism.
Yet,
He has only used UK hospitals.
Spent millions of dollars in medical tourism.
He failed to equip even the state hospital.
Yet Zombies still support and worship him
Dude jazz up wella

Restoresp:
All our leaders past and present need to be quarantined with koboko for putting us in this mess

I pray this Corona Virus be eradicated soon.

Now we should fried beans abi? After her father left the bother open to allow her finish shopping and come into the nation, and in so doing allowed Corana Virus to find it's way into our country. See ehn, e no go better for that useless man.

destinie2019:
The VP was brutally divested of any and every vestige of statutory responsibility by Abba Kyari. The man is under oath to obey the instructions of his principal (Kyari), so we can excuse him a little bit for joining them to tell lies. He is not a hothead, and this is probably for the best, seeing that he is surrounded by rattlesnakes. By quietly enduring the indignities heaped on him by the cabal, he is retaining a modicum of respect and credibility. He can't be judged except he actually has the power.

Despite America's success, they still have a lot of troubles from poverty, homelessness and crime. They even have the highest rate of Human Rights violations in the developed world.

Los Angeles is terrible for the average low earning person, a lot of people with dreams and some already broken, almost everyone there wants to be an entertainer and then life happens. The city is ridiculously expensive hence the high rate of homelessness in the city. Skid row is the worst place there. Some simply prefer to stay there than move back to their states as failures and keeping hoping for the best.

Adonko:
Oh so you prefer they die of hunger abi?

Iceberg3:
Oh he is, seriously,he and his people. That money he thinks he gat,bullion van,tell me,as old as he is, what's he enjoying? What's there to enjoy,at his age? His people are suffering, he sold a whole popular ACN away to a struggling, less popular, less known CPC and settled for ordinary V P position while the north took everything, he's not enjoying anything.
His 2023 ambition is just a mirage.
The north will continue in office,come 2023.

Ventilators is a last resort in this epidemic.
I pray no Nigerian is I'll enough to warrant mechanical ventilation.
Most deaths in Europe and America occur while on ventilator.

missimelda01:
These are the real people making contribution, not all those politicians transferring audio money from their current account to their savings account.

rusher14:
That's the spirit we talk about.
We can't keep complaining but we must act.
Demonstrate what you can do and see how your society prospers.
As your society prospers, so do you.
Kudos young man.
Watch how he would start having many engagements on the basis of this.

The country is doomed,my brother.
The thing of joy is that,those who cut their own nose just to spite others, are equally suffering from the heat
