The World Bank has approved a 700 million dollar credit for the Nigeria Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Programme (SURWASH).

It made the announcement in a statement on its website in Washington D. C. on Thursday.

According to the statement, the credit will provide six million people with basic drinking water services and 1.4 million people access to improved sanitation services.

Not again

Oh... Smh

Over 50% of the loan will go into consultancy services while about 30% will go into international travels and project administration. Barely 20% will go into actual provision of water supply.

Verdict: The project won’t have any meaningful impact just like other world bank assisted projects such as GEM, YESSO, Triming, saving one million lives etc.
