The Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa (CAPPA) has said that water sector reforms funded by the World Bank has only deepened Nigeria’s public debt crisis.
This claim by CAPPA is contained in a report to be launched by the human rights organisation on Friday. The report is titled ” Big Debt, Dry Taps: A Case Study of World Bank-Supported Water Projects in Ekiti, Rivers, and Bauchi States.”
According to CAPPA, the report provides ” an exposé of how World Bank-funded water sector reforms have failed to deliver on their promises, instead deepening Nigeria’s public debt crisis while leaving local populations without access to clean and affordable water. ”
CAPPA added, “The study reveals the realities behind the corporatisation of water, policy failures, and the privatisation push that continues to undermine public access.”
The report is scheduled to be launched at 1A Adekunle Owobiyi Close, Off Oladele Kadiri Close, Ogba Lagos State.
