You don’t know what you’re saying when you say “most”.

So what kind of water do they drink? Muddy water?
In Ajeromi Ifeludun LGA (especially Olodi) 25 liters of water goes for ₦300.
Water cooperation have shutdown for over 2 decades and you call it access to water? Haba

Yes, it has always been like that..

I don’t know if this will make sense to you or not, but me personally, I always feel they’re lucky with water cuz of their water goddess. You know it’s a state that worships water, the popular Osun/osogbo festival, hence why they have water blessings… Just my personal thinking tho..

Their water is so clean and pure..
I would have loved to like your post a thousand times but for the religious/superstitious twist.

Very few people in Osun state worship the river goddess.

Without the needed work of engineers, technicians, lab scientists, quality assurance, administrative staff etc, the river goddess can’t make pipe borne water available to buildings.

Is it drinking water or drinkable water

He is right, even in the whole of Lekki you can't get drinkable water, when I was living in Amuwo we bought water for drinking, washing and bathing because the water there is useless. Since moving to my own house I have spent over 4m treating water, the last reversed osmosis equipment they installed has given us clean water for bathing and cooking but far from drinkable.

Enugu should be number #37. Dat state no get water at all.
Enugu has one of the highest quality underground water reserves in the whole of Africa, not just Nigeria. Nigerian Breweries is sited in Enugu, Aquafina is here, coca-cola and 7up bottlling companies also operate. These are companies that rely heavily on water for their operations. The reason it appears there's an acute shortage is that these underground reserves are in aquifers that are far away from the city, hence the widespread use of water transport tankers for distribution.

If you need quality water in Enugu, e dey.
It's just costly.

Re: States With The Highest Access To Clean Drinking Water In Nigeria by goodman55: 8:40am On Feb 01
Its a very bad thing for my state Benue state with the whole River Benue couldn't be found among these states listed above. Even Kogi state too. Bad and poor leadership in Benue state is the root caused of this. Stealing public funds for personal enrichment is the order of the day in government house Makurdi.

If Enugu have water but it can’t get to everyone I think is the same as there is no water .

I'm a Researcher, specializing in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). I can tell you boldly that your statistics is by far bias.
The only state that has access to Clean water in Nigeria is Imo.

This data is misleading. I'm sure the person who put it together has never been to Lagos, a state where getting clean water through boreholes is extremely hard. It's even shocking that Lagos is the first.
Are you sure you live in Lagos? Maybe you live in Lekki or Ajah. Come to the Mainland and drill borehole, and see water gushing out in time.

When I was drilling my borehole, I was surprised seeing water coming quicker than I expected; I had to tell them to dig deeper for cleaner and drinkable water.

Badagry
Re: States With The Highest Access To Clean Drinking Water In Nigeria by Nobody: 9:37am On Feb 01
In our WhatsApp group of over 200 people mostly based in different parts of Lagos, we ran a simple poll to determine how many people have access to government provided pipe borne water. The result was a capital NONE.

Fake statistics

Even those that live in highbrow areas like Lekki and the rest don't have access to clean water and Lagos is number one on their list.

Ablesam171:
This can't be correct because if it is, Lagos wouldn't be number one.
In most parts of Lagos, when digging borehole, you don't need to dig too deep to get water but to see drinking water, it's almost impossible. You'll always need treatment especially on the island even on the mainland, to get drinking water for some area like Apapa na war, you'll also need to be treating the water.
This statistic is definitely wrong in my opinion.
They said access to clean drinking water ,that means treated water bro not raw water , the north lack both raw and treated water ,cos of the terrain.
