FG Sets Quality Standard For Drinking Water by ManirBK(op): 6:32am On Mar 01, 2018
Federal Ministry of Water Resources in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health and Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), have launched the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ), which was approved in 2007. Speaking during the launch of the NSDWQ in Abuja, minister for Water Resources, Engr. Suleiman Adamu, said the standard sets limits for constituents and water contaminants that are hazardous to health.
He said the NSDWQ would also provide guides to meeting the mandatory limits and assigned institutional responsibilities including enforcement to stakeholders in line with their statutory obligations. Adamu however observed that much has not been done in respect to enforcement of the standard with water producers carrying on with business as usual without regard for the quality of drinking water supplied to the people.
“In the revised standard which we are launching today, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources has been assigned the responsibility of enforcement and we are working assiduously to speed the process of upgrading the water quality laboratories located at Lagos, Akure, Kano, Minna, Enugu, and Gombe alongside the completion of additional six laboratories in Maiduguri, Sokoto, Makurdi, Umuahia, Asaba and Port Harcourt,” he stated.

Mumu FG.
Does the Waterboard still exist?
Talking about the Ministry of Water Resources is just like talking about the Nigerian Coal Corporation.
It's practically dead and useless.

Growing up back then in Nigeria, there was regular tap-water from the Water Board.

Now the only way to have water in your house is by having a borehole or a well.
So how do the jokers intend to implement the quality control?

Water Coperation is not defunct. The government does not provide water to it's citizens yet you want to encroach of people's private businesses and crumble them with "regulation".

Mimdless!
