Not all wells offer the same level of protection. Our field assessment found exposed covers, low rims, degraded casings, and unsafe surroundings that increase the risk of water contamination.

The hidden cost of goodwill? Communities depend on one person’s ability to keep water flowing.
At one borehole in Agbowo, 50 households rely on just 90 minutes of water each morning. When the pump fails, everyone feels it.

In five peri-urban communities we assessed in Ibadan, every water point was privately owned.
Residents drilled boreholes, dug wells, installed pumps, and shared water with their neighbours often at their own expense

Surface water and harvested rainwater can look clean but still contain harmful contaminants.
Use the first flush when harvesting rainwater, keep storage containers clean and covered, and always treat harvested rainwater before drinking.

A sealed package doesn’t always mean safe drinking water.
Before buying sachet or bottled water, check the NAFDAC registration number, production date, packaging, and storage conditions.
Small checks can make a big difference.

Safe isn’t always safe.
Water can look clean or come in a sealed package and still require questions about its source, treatment, storage, and distribution.
Next week, we’re breaking down every water source you drink from.

Everyone needs water. Not everyone gets it equally.
In Nigeria, the richest households are 17× more likely to have access to safely managed drinking water than the poorest households. (WASH NORM 2021)
Water inequality is real. 💧

NAFDAC Seizes ₦1.2 Billion Worth of Fake Malaria Drugs in Lagos Raid
NAFDAC has intercepted 277 cartons of counterfeit and unregistered Malamal Forte malaria drugs, valued at over ₦1.2 billion, in a warehouse located in the Ilasa-Oshodi area of Lagos State.
The fake drugs, which were concealed in cartons labelled as Diclofenac Potassium 50mg, were illegally imported from Shanxi Tianyuan Pharmaceuticals Group in China. They were falsely declared as spare parts in the shipping container.
NAFDAC’s Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment, with the full support of the Presidency and Federal Ministry of Health, to eliminating counterfeit and substandard medicines from Nigeria.
This seizure is part of NAFDAC’s sustained nationwide operation to protect public health and ensure only safe, quality medicines are available to Nigerians.
