Responsibility of water supply in Nigeria is shared between three (3) levels of government – federal, state and local. The federal government is in charge of water resources management; state governments have the primary responsibility for urban water supply; and local governments together with communities are responsible for rural water supply. The responsibility for sanitation is not clearly defined.[4]
Water supply service quality and cost recovery are low. Water tariffs are low and many water users do not pay their bills. Service providers thus rely mostly on occasional subsidies to cover their operating costs.[5]
National policies and Initiatives encourages the participation of private sector and reform of policy at the State level.[6] The national water supply and sanitation recognizes the importance of water supply and sanitation as it is central to healthy society and national development.[7]
