Drinking Water in Nigeria: A Public Health Threat and Burden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249427605)

Nigeria is a country suffering from the crippling burden of disease resulting from unsafe drinking water. The prevalent diseases of unsafe drinking water in Nigeria include cholera, guinea worm, hepatitis, and shigellosis. Additionally, the country is dealing with security issues and instability from religious squabbles between Muslims in the northern region of Nigeria and Christians in the southern region. The economic, political, social, and health-related problems faced by the population of Nigeria require intervention from the government of Nigeria as well as foreign stakeholders.
