Prof. Utsev reiterated this commitment during a courtesy visit by UNICEF Chief of WASH, Dr. Jane Bevan, to his office in Abuja today. He highlighted ongoing consultations with State Governments and Investors to leverage the WASH sector's value chain, emphasizing the need for robust collaboration with UNICEF to expand projects to grassroots communities.


He underscored the crucial significance of achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2030 targets for WASH projects across Nigeria, ensuring maximum benefits for the populace.


The Honourable Minister further disclosed that preparations were underway for the WASH Sustainability Check meeting to develop a WASH Action Plan with the 36 States and FCT Commissioners in charge of Water Resources and Sanitation.


The Honourable Minister also maintained that efforts were in top gear for the implementation of WASHNORM IV Survey and urged all relevant stakeholders and supervising Directors to hasten the process with the National Bureau of Statistics.


Earlier in her remarks, Dr. Jane Bevan, shared insights into the Federal Government and UNICEF WASH programs in Nigeria from 2018 to date. She emphasized the direct and indirect impact of the FGN-UNICEF WASH program, spanning over 250 LGAs directly and approximately 400 LGAs indirectly across 26 states.


According to her, the strategic focus of UNICEF collaboration in the WASH sector from 2023 to 2027 encompasses various areas including WASH sector financing, sustainability of WASH systems, WASH in Institutions, ending open defecation in Nigeria, and WASH Sector Coordination.

Additionally, over 24 million people have gained access to basic Sanitation Services, with approximately 2,000 Primary Health Centers and 3,000 schools equipped with complete WASH facilities.
