The majority of Lagos residents rely on the informal sector comprised of wells, boreholes, rivers and rain water to access water.

In Lagos access to water is a public health threat because of the interconnectedness of water, sanitation and public health.

It has been alleged that there have been a number of deaths in the state due to the consumption of contaminated water.


Average spending on water could be as high as $44 a month almost at par with Nigeria's minimum wage of $47 per month.

Lagos state has been criticized by campaigners for their response to the water challenges facing the state.
