How is Lagos on the list? Places like Lagos Island, Eti Osa, Ajeromi Ifelodun (Ajegunle), etc., don’t have potable water, given the brackish ground water and contaminated water ways. The water isn’t safe enough for human consumption, cooking, and hygiene, having all manner of pathogens and contaminants.

Lagos is not only the island you know that right

And no sinking a borehole on Lagos mainland to get clean water is achievable. I have drank water from the tap my 30sumthing years in Lagos with zero health concern

SmartPolician:
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.

[So, why is there no record of outbreak of waterborne disease in Lagos State?]

Oya let's call it fake statics
Of course you yourself knows it's fake. Lagos has no portable drinking water except by individual effort in some places. Lagos water is salt water in 60% or more of the places.

Salt water everywhere you go. Is there any functional government provided public water? No.

Enugu should be number #37. Dat state no get water at all.
That's why it's not on the list. Lagos too should not be on that list because, inasmuch as there's water everywhere in Lagos, it's not consumable at all.

LegendHero:
So you mean people in Lagos don’t have access to good drinking water?

You mean someone in Lagos won’t be able to drink clean water compared to someone in Ebonyi village with almost 40% lack of access to potable water?
That's not the point and you know it.

LegendHero:
If you did treatment then you have access to water. So how does that contradict the statistics?

This is how they define it as per NDHS report source.
Oh I see.

One would have thought then that the very rich Lagos government would flood the streets with unlimited flow of treated drinkable water for the citizens.

You're sounding distraught. Is it because of February 2023?
