Abstract:
This research provides a nuanced analysis of the persistent challenges related to water access, sanitation, and hygiene, with a specific focus on Benin City within the context of Nigeria. Investigating the intricate web of factors contributing to water scarcity, the study delves into the effectiveness of existing water regulatory boards in Nigeria, such as the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and River Basin Development Authorities. Emphasizing the unique challenges faced by Benin City, the research sheds light on how rapid urbanization, population growth, and industrial activities have strained water supply systems, leading to significant disparities in access among different neighborhoods. The findings underscore the urgent need for localized, context-specific interventions in Benin City. These interventions should encompass policy reforms, infrastructural enhancements, and community engagement initiatives tailored to the city's unique challenges. By addressing these issues head-on, Benin City can pave the way for equitable access to clean water and sanitation, thereby enhancing public health, fostering socio-economic development, and improving the overall quality of life for its residents.
