Failure to coordinate activities of borehole drilling in Nigeria through non-implementation of regulatory instrument, encouraged uncoordinated pricing and use of substandard materials to the disadvantage of ill-informed Nigerians are threats to the health of the nation.
These could lead to potential reversal of the recent declaration of Nigeria as a polio-free nation, the Association of Water Drillers and Rig- Owners Practitioners(AWDROP) has said.
To this end, AWDROP said drinking water channels need monitoring in order to save Nigerians from water borne diseases especially now that the World Health Organization (WHO) had announced on September 25 that polio is no longer endemic in Nigeria.
This is the first time that Nigeria has interrupted transmission of wild polio virus, bringing the country and the African region closer than ever to being certified polio-free.
