The lack of potable water is a major problem in Nigeria, with many communities unable to access clean drinking water. This has led to the spread of diseases such as typhoid, guinea worm, and cholera. Despite government promises to provide "dividends of democracy," taxpayers' money is being wasted on unnecessary projects while the people are left without access to clean water. In Lagos, a city with over 15 million inhabitants, many local government councils cannot provide pipe-borne water, leading to the proliferation of unhygenic "pure water" packaged in unsanitary conditions. According to a former Lagos State Government official, potable water is a basic essential for life and sanitation, but only 39% of Nigerians have access to it.
