Contaminated water from where. Abia has no functioning water board so every one sinks a borehole. So where is the Contaminated water coming from. If 73% drinks such water, why are thousands not dying from cholera. Stupid news

Otti's handiwork.

UnitedKingdom:

Abia state I know very well like I know my name, 70% of them have individual borehole in their compound.

FAKE NEWS.

In fact, that's the reason why people would be more exposed to faeces.

Boreholes are often constructed in Nigeria with no consideration for water sanitation.

Ask professionals and they'll tell you the truth.

LegendHero:
A recent study by Water Sanitation and Hygiene Natural Outcome Routine Mapping (WASHNORM) has revealed that 73% of Abia State residents consume water contaminated with E. coli (faecal matter), while 2% of the population still practice open defecation.

The WASHNORM survey, a collaboration between the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and the National Bureau of Statistics, with support from UNICEF, the World Bank, WHO, and other development partners, highlighted the grave health risks linked to drinking contaminated water.

During a press briefing/seminar in Enugu on Global Handwashing Day, organized by UNICEF and the Broadcasting Corporation of Abia, Mrs. Rebecca Gabriel, UNICEF Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Specialist, expressed concern over the widespread contamination and its impact on public health. She emphasized that handwashing with soap and running water is essential to preventing diseases.

Discussants at the event attributed the high level of water contamination in Abia to open defecation by 2% of the population, which leads to faecal matter contaminating water sources. Poorly placed boreholes, often close to soak-aways and toilets, were also blamed for the pollution.

The WASHNORM survey revealed that only 35% of schools and 30% of healthcare facilities in Nigeria have access to basic handwashing facilities. In public spaces like markets and motor parks, the figure drops to just 8%.

UNICEF estimates that 167 million people (83% of the Nigerian population) lack access to basic handwashing facilities. The organization identified five critical times for handwashing: before preparing meals, before and after eating, before breastfeeding, after changing diapers, and after defecating.

Mrs. Maureen Zubie-Okolo, UNICEF’s Officer in charge of Planning and Monitoring, reiterated the importance of hand hygiene during the event. She stated, “UNICEF is committed to promoting hand hygiene among the communities we serve. We believe that by fostering a culture of handwashing, we can contribute to a healthier and safer world for all.”

UNICEF continues to support national handwashing campaigns and integrates hand hygiene into health, education, and nutrition programs across more than 90 countries. In collaboration with WHO, UNICEF also monitors handwashing practices in households, schools, and healthcare facilities globally.

Na Jagaban, Sanwo Olu and Lagos State be their problem

IPOB goats are really suffering

Same in Lagos as far as i know

The water in sachets are different from the bottled one?

richmond500:
I don't know about this but the Abia weh I bin visit, they have very clean water and the taste was one of the best I have ever had, it was from a mono-pump anyways cos I don't drink tap water or pure water.

It's either mono-pump or bottled water

Abia specialized mostly on boreholes water.. every house builded do get boreholes.. or in a street you must fine 2-3 boreholes for drinking water.. I believed people who are behind this wanted to make money out of it..

No wonder they wan use mouth odor kill us

Naim be say Lagos residents Na 99.9%...

Aba is a zoo...

Charbliss90:

Yes, completely different

It is a lie....they are all billionaires in that state. They all drink imported bottle water , to cook and do everything .

No wonder they are all over the internet talking like they have faeces in their brain. Well done Orji Uzor Kalu, you do this one

LegendHero:
Otti don destroy this lovely state.

How can people drinking faeces-laced water even think well in the first place? Thats why there are lot of bitter people.

This isn't about Otti ..... Nigeria generally is suffering from decades of systematic rot,everywhere you go is a Lacuna.

I am not from abia,I am not Igbo and I don't like obidients neo fascist political ideology but I am first a Nigerian.

Most of this aid agencies often times overblow this issues to look good to their imperialistic west and seek more funding.

Unfortunately, na Ibo woman talk am.

And nah vanguard report am.....neo eastern supremacist media house!!

Samethig with Lekki. Their entire water rin Lekki has faeces in it.

You dare not bath with that water. 😂😂😂😂

I was using dispenser water to bath when I went to stay with a colleague there 😂

ekineme:
Propaganda machines at work, just to get something to quote as reference. We know the people that practice open defecation, they have been called out several times.
I didn't call names o, but every ** to his own kettle.

That's why you are more concerned about what happens in Lagos and other regions while your region is a cesspool for fecal matter contaminated drinking water......if your region was that good and your obi made his Anambra Eldorado......all your fellow developers should have been back home by now.

LadyExcellency:
The report is a fabrication of some sort for the NGOs and the ministries to receive subvention of some kind. I know Abia State at the tip of my finger and can comfortably ascertain the availability of private boreholes which cost so little or moderately to dig.

But if it were Lagos,you would have had an orgasm and be foaming in the mouth already...... though I totally agree with you on the first part

Even Billionaire dey drink Shyte, this world, true, true no balance.

Abia no be Lagos!

Otti will build one borehole per house for everyone!

No wonder our skin looks so fresh.. we're drinking direct from nature

Don't mind the yeye people

how did Otti destroy the "lovely state"?

is he the one defecating in water or is he the one directing people to do so?

if you took your time to ask some questions, you wont be stranded mentally.

what is the source of drinking water for the entire Abia state?

is it a stream or a river?

is it that stream or river that serves the entire 73% of Abia state?

how is it possible for an open water source to serve as a source of drinking water for 73% of the population of a state in today's Nigeria?

how can just 2% of the entire Abia population defecate the source of water for the entire state?

where do the remaining 98% defecate?

if just 98% of the population dont practice open defecation, it shows the hygeine level is high in the state and such people are health conscious.

are you telling me there are no boreholes in Abia state as it is common in states in the south due to the friendly water level?

what happened to the remaining 27%? where do they get their water from?
