6: Clean Water and sanitation
Nigeria has a water resources potential of 370 Billion Cubic metres made up of 287 BCM/year generated internally and 88 BCM from trans boundary sources.
As at 2015, the National Access to potable water and adequate sanitation was 69 and 29 per cents respectively with national access to pipe borne water supply only 7%.
World Bank report shows NRW averaging 65% in four major states of the country.
Nigeria needs to invest $8 billion yearly in potable water – UNICEF In 2014 the World Bank committed $250million in improving water supply service and financial
viability in selected states in the country. Programme still on-going Arla through its ‘Milky Way Partnership Project Nigeria will be contributing to this goal as water
forms part of the infrastructure to be provided in cluster communities of herders and their families. This has spurred one of the focal state governments to action and there is a good possibility of
having the project replicated in a much larger scale Some indication of interest from Grundfos in the Milky Way project and will be reviewing the water
needs to evaluating their input to the same project.

7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Nigeria needs more than 10 times its current electricity output to guarantee supply for its 198 million people - nearly half of whom have no access at all Only 1 in 4 people in rural Nigeria is connected to the Grid Targets expanding electricity access to 75 percent of the population by
2020 and 90 percent by 2030 Nigeria targets 30% renewables in its energy mix by 2030, signs 14 solar
power purchase agreements. current component of grid power consists mainly of gas-fired power (85%)
and hydropower (15%) Early this year the World Bank Approved $486 Million to Improve Nigeria
Electricity Transmission Network and Infrastructure through 2021 Nigeria currently has the capacity to produce an estimated 7,000 megawatts
(MW) of power with only 4,000 reaching the national grid due to weak infrastructure, gas supply problems and water shortages
The largest is the Mambilla Power Station in central Nigeria, a $5.79 billion project due to be completed in 2024 with most of the financing coming from Chinese lenders
To enable it generate 3,050 MW of renewable energy in the rural region, and is scheduled to be completed in 2024
Given the country’s climate though, most of the focus is on generating solar power and distributing through mini grids in rural areas 5

billion Environmental Restoration Fund for Ogoni land or Ogoni Restoration Fund (ORF) with capital of USD 1 billion, to be co-funded by the Federal Government, NNPC and the SPDC JV.
