“WATER IS THE LIFE”

Nigeria is one of the biggest countries in Africa with its increasing population and annual GDP rates. With the increase in the population, the urbanization process is speeding and the local people have low-level access to improved water sources and sanitation. Wastewater Management in Lagos State as the case in other parts of Nigeria is minimal, with only a fraction of wastewater being treated.

Sanitation systems currently used in Lagos State include both government and private facilities. The government cannot afford to fill the gap that exists between the current capacity of the state water corporations and the required daily volume for the state’s use. According to the government, the private sector
is thus encouraged to invest in the sector.

“NIGERIA IS NOT A WATER-POOR COUNTRY, THERE’S A NEED FOR MORE INVESTMENTS.”

The General Manager of ELAN Expo Mr. Suer AY illustrates his opinions about the Nigerian Water industry as; “

Nigeria is not a water-poor country, it needs more investments. Nigeria produces 1800m3 of water per capita annually; there are enough water resources for domestic, industrial, agricultural, hydropower, transportation, and recreational uses but there is more need for modern wastewater treatment facilities during the rapid urbanization process. In this year’s Wawe Expo 2022 we served the local people to meet international suppliers for water and wastewater treatment, water distribution equipment, water meters, household water systems, water pumps, and other plumbing installations.

West Africa Water Expo 2022 attracted 140 brands, representing companies from 19 countries, as well as more than 3800 visitors throughout the World: Algeria, Austria, Belgium, China, Germany, Ghana, India, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States.
