๐ New publication alert! ๐
After a long road of sample collection, analysis and peer review, our work on water safety, treatment feasibility and proxy monitoring, Stage 1 of a multi-stage program to monitor water quality remotely and ensure safe drinking water for all, is now published in Water Supply, a journal of the International Water Association @IWAHQ
SDG 6.1 promises universal access to safe drinking water, but access without safety is only half the promise. Using ๐ก๐ถ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ as a case study, with the intention of expanding to other contexts, we assessed the public boreholes that communities across 6 states rely on daily. The result: ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ด๐ฌ% ๐ป๐ผ๐ป-๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ with the national safety standard.
The heart of this work is proxy monitoring, using low-cost, field-measurable indicators to flag risk so expensive lab testing goes only where it's needed. Paired with integrated treatment design at a smart water kiosk that restored unsafe supplies to health-critical safety, the study lays out a practical, affordable way to make water safe step by step, tackling the most serious health risks first.
This challenge is just as real in Australia. ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ have no water quality monitoring at all, and some have gone untested for as long as a decade. Without monitoring, unsafe water can go undetected, and people keep drinking it. (Water Services Association of Australia, Closing the Gap)

That is how we help close the gap, in Nigeria, in remote Australia, and wherever safe water is hardest to reach. ๐

๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ remains one of the biggest challenges in solving Nigeriaโs water crisis.
Avoiding water system failure goes beyond fragmented approaches and one-time infrastructure delivery. Long-term impact requires sustainable systems, continuous monitoring, data, accountability, and local integration.
In this presentation, I discuss how @FairAction_Int and @Fairaction_ng are working to tackle these challenges and advance sustainable water access aligned with ๐จ๐ก ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ฒ.๐ญ.

When a water project fails, the consequences arenโt just about broken equipment, they are personal.

What does life look like when something as basic as water is not guaranteed?
For many communities, it means starting the day with uncertainty, about distance, about safety, and about what the water itself might carry.
And yet, these are the realities shaping health, education, and everyday living for entire families.
At Fairaction, weโre not treating this as just a lack of infrastructure, weโre responding to a gap in dignity.
By bringing safe water closer to homes, weโre helping reduce preventable illness, ease the burden on caregivers, and give children a better chance to learn, grow, and simply be children.
Small changes like access can shift everything.
Be part of that change.
Support our work, share this message, and help us reach communities that need it most.

They asked for help, and we showed up.
Life in Lube Boni wasnโt easy. The community had to share the same water sources with cows, not because they wanted to, but because they had no choice.
Now, things have changed.
Hear directly from the people of the community as they share what life was like before our Smart Water Infrastructure.
Many communities are still going through the same struggle.
You can be part of the change.

On Monday, the Fairaction Nigeria team, in collaboration with @FairAction_Int, carried out an impactful outreach in Arulogun Community, Akinyele LGA, to commemorate World Water Day 2026.
The event brought together the Mogaji of Ile Arulogun, Chief Monsur Abiola Olatunji; the Balogun Arulogun, Chief A. Oluwole Olayiwola; and the Baale Arulogun, Baale Taofik Adewale Lawal, alongside other respected community leaders and members of the Arulogun community. Also in attendance were representatives from over 143 villages, a powerful show of unity and shared purpose.
Our National Coordinator, Dr. Tola Winjobi, delivered an insightful address highlighting the deep connection between water access and gender equality, reinforcing this yearโs theme and its relevance to everyday life. We were also honored to have our Director and CEO, @Gtohquality, share a brief speech about our mission, vision, and continued commitment to providing sustainable water solutions for communities.
One of the most impactful moments of the day was hearing directly from community members, especially the women, as they shared their real-life water challenges. These conversations strengthened our commitment to take actionable steps toward sustainable solutions that truly meet their needs.
We are grateful to everyone who showed up, especially the elders and members of Arulogun Community, for the warm reception and active participation.

On this World Water Day, we reflect on a simple truth: water is not just a resource - it is life, opportunity, and dignity.
We have walked through communities, spoken to families, and seen firsthand how women and girls bear the greatest burden when water is scarce.
They wake before sunrise, walk long distances, and carry the responsibility of keeping their families healthy. When water is scarce or unsafe, they are the ones who sacrifice time, education, income, and even their safety.
At Fairaction, we are changing that story.
By placing women at the center of our solutions, we are not only improving access to safe water - we are building leaders, strengthening communities, and creating lasting impact. From kiosk attendants to local water committees, women are driving change every day.
This World Water Day, stand with us to ensure every woman and girl has access to safe water and the chance to live, grow, and dream without limits.

Last week, I shared our framework for delivering sustainable water solutions.
In this video, I highlight theย key post-construction metricsย we track to ensure water systems remain reliable, resilient, and sustainable over time. These metrics show how smart technology and long-term monitoring transform water projects from short-term interventions into lasting infrastructure.
Beyond community impact, this data also informs policy, supports water agencies and governments, and contributes to peer-reviewed research across the sector.

If you are working towardsย UN SDG 6.1 (Clean Water for All)ย and are interested in scalable, evidence-based water solutions, we welcome collaboration.
I recorded this video in response to increasing interest from water agencies and development partners in how Fairaction delivers sustainable, data-driven water solutions that improve access to safe water and strengthen long-term community wellbeing, prosperity, and resilience in water-poor communities.
In the video, I outline our approach and explain how we work and why it works in practice.
The model moves deliberately from rigorous pre-construction assessment, to durable and climate-resilient infrastructure design and construction, and finally to real-time post-construction monitoring and data feedback. This lifecycle-based approach ensures water systems remain functional, financially viable, and scalable in complex environments.
The video uses a real project example from Nigeria to illustrate how sustainability and performance are actively managed over time, rather than assumed at the point of construction.
For organisations, institutions, water agencies, and philanthropists working toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 6.1 Clean Water for All, and with an interest in infrastructure sustainability, system performance, and long-term delivery models, I welcome further discussion and targeted briefings.

Our NGO delivered a sustainable water solution to a community that had never previously been reached. The community has existed for over a hundred years and has always relied on a distant, visibly contaminated stream that is unsafe for human consumption.
The government undoubtedly has the resources to support such communities; however, many remain unserved due to systemic institutional and political constraints.
NGOs are frequently scapegoated by politicians and by those who lack a grounded understanding of on-the-ground realities. NGOs play a critical and complementary role in service delivery, and this role cannot be replaced or rendered redundant.
This is strategic and reassuring. I consider it a proactive move at a time when fast and rational decisions are needed. We have been complicit for too long on the issue of insecurity and never again going forward. May God bless Nigeria and every well-meaning Nigerian who continues to work to uplift our dear country.
To everyone who speaks hate about the country because of their dislike for its leadership or government, it is not too late to join hands with the rest of us to move Nigeria forward.
@loyalpet_@Ikeonwu18004@lindaikeji This is AI-generated. Please donโt argue. If the video he made was truly shown on TV, she could have posted the actual TV clip, not an AI video.
The video is clearly AI-generated, and it has been retweeted so many times. It is unfair to spread fake news, especially at a time when many people rely on information to form opinions about how the government is handling insecurity.
I have noticed that about 90% of trending news and posts are fake, and many blogs and influencers do not care as long as they get the engagement they want, even at the detriment of our countryโs image. It is a total shame that many Nigerians are not patriotic.
