Nigeria is ranked second out of 163 nations with the highest risk of exposure to environmental and climate risks, according to UNICEF.

Juliet Chiluwe, the head of UNICEF Enugu’s field office, disclosed this to reporters.

She noted that statistics on hand show that groundwater levels are likewise falling, prompting some towns to build wells twice as deep as they did ten years ago.

Chiluwe emphasized that because of increasingly unpredictable and severe rains, there have been floods that have contaminated the limited water supply.

To execute the UN water SDGB Global Acceleration Framework, the UNICEF official urged the federal government to improve efficiency, responsible system coordination and capacities to provide water and sanitation services.

She emphasized the need for the government to increase its spending on clean water to improve living conditions.
