Zones That Have Access To Water Supply, From Top To Bottom by Ezeama400(op): 11:30pm On Dec 09, 2025
SOUTH WEST RANKED LOWEST AMONG ZONES IN NIGERIA THAT HAVE ACCESS TO BOREHOLE / HAND-PUMPED WATER — 2023

Zone — Number in 1000 Household
South South — 600
South East — 560
North East — 530
North West — 420
North Central — 300
South West — 290

NB: No zone struggles with clean borehole water access more than the South West a surprising infrastructure gap Nigeria.

With all there seas and lagoons in Lagos, they still don't have access to drinkable water ..

I even read from a reputable news site sometimes last month that there big men in ikoyi might just be drinking sewage water 😂😆😂😂

Lagos have nothing to lose as the most populated African city....

You can never count Anambra amongst recognized African cities....

Obi who tried to give Anambra a facelift ended up being stingy with it's revenues.... stored them in the bank while walking about raising his shoulders....and bragging about it while refusing to pay salaries and conducting LGA elections.

I think I can understand why this may be so.

In the South East, most households drill their own borehole due to little to no government provision for water distribution or a failed water board system. Also, you don't need to go very deep in the SE to get clean water, except in Enugu state where the terrain makes it difficult.

While in the SW especially Lagos, the cost of industrial drilling to enable clean water and the likely treatment setup that must follow due to bad unclean water levels will discourage anyone from drilling.

Since when has having a access to borehole and hand pumped water become an achievement?

Doesn’t borehole drilling and hand pumped water typical omen of failed government?

How many houses in the developed nations have access to borehole and hand pumped water systems?

Potable drinking water is what they ask.

Even Lagos state no get potable drinking water. Lekki one of the most “decorated” areas of Lagos state don’t have clean water. They buy water from water tanks. Let’s not even delve into Ajegunle, Makoko, Oyingbo and some areas.

Why do you think water trucks (meruwa) are everywhere in Lagos?

I served in Gombe state and throughout my stay, I bought water from MaiRuwa 97% of the time.

Is that where there is borehole.

I have never bought water in the South West before.

The joke is on the researcher.

What are we supposed to do with this news?? All these statinonsense with their useless stats that don't even contribute anything to national growth, other than useless yard sticks to measure dicks with different ethnicity.

Here's a stats for you!

South East..... 99%
South south... 99%
South West...99%
North west...99%
North East....99%
North central...99%

Total 100% Nigerian youths are lazy, short-sighted, moronic and easily deceived

Re: Zones That Have Access To Water Supply, From Top To Bottom by epainos: 10:02am On Dec 10, 2025
Very correct. One of the areas Yoruba people are struggling. The whole of Lekki down to Ajah is too costly to get clean water. If not too salty, impurities or toxins are found. Ede and many other places are on hills that you will dig tire before you can pump a drop of water. And many other factors.

This is why I am always angry with Ogun. Osoba, G. Daniels, Amosun, this one there now called Abiodun no do am well at all. Amosun did his rubbish to the extent of putting the whole of Nigeria in a mess that they started siezing our aircrafts and sending us out of our consular houses abroad. If not for Buhari, that Amsoun should be probed. And it's not too late. 80 years jail for that guy is still like pardoning him. As good and resourceful Ogun is, adjacent to Lagos, they missed everything. The same Amosun discouraged Dangote from building his refinery in Ogun because he wanted to make Aliko pay with his blood. Na so Tinubu hear am, draft the man go Lagos. Even Dangote was shocked the amount he got the whole of the land in Ibeju compared to the forest Amosun wanted to sell for a fortune. The same Amosun slept on having a port despite having access to the Atlantic ocean just like Lagos. Ogun has a tiny opening that links directly to the ocean. And now, the same Dangote is trying to build it for them. Do you think he will ever go there if that Amosun still has power in Ogun? By 2035, Dangote will be top 5 richest people in tje world. Mark my word. But alhaji is getting old and he better sell off everything and donate his money to people that will use it well rather than leave everything in a will. Na there wahala go start. The destruction of the house of Abiola will be a child's play compare to the kind of harvoc and destruction that will befall the Dangote family of alhaji doesn't sell everything off before his death.

Well, it is not too late. Other States in SW needs to catch up also. If not for Lagos, they will rank below SS and most likely below SE too.

The last time I saw public water supply to a home was in 1993, when I was living in Ogba, near Pen Cinema, by Sakamori, if I remember. That was pre-June 12 crisis.

Re: Zones That Have Access To Water Supply, From Top To Bottom by oz4real83(m):
Apart from boreholes, most of these states don't have public water supply systems. Boreholes aren't a sign of a progressing state, it is a sign of govt's inability to provide water for the people.
