Yesterday, at a conference in Abuja, an International non-governmental organisation called Clean-Up Nigeria, released its 768-page study entitled: “Clean-Up Nigeria National Technical Working Committee Report on the state of the nation’s cleanliness performance ratings for states of the federation, state capitals/cities in Nigeria”. The study was conducted from October 2017 – October 2018 by 15 members of NTWC.
According to Prince Ene Baba Owoh Jr, the National Coordinator of CUN, raised alarm about the unhygienic situation of most states. He said at the conference: "As confirmed by our study, only three states and state capitals that scored above 50 per cent can be considered to be clean. The performance indicators and results have shown that over 175 million Nigerians are living in unclean environments."
According to the study by the report, these are the dirtiest states in the country.
1. Kogi: The confluence state scored the lowest with a score of 11 out of 100.
2. Osun: Osun state was next in line with the same 11 percent.
3. Nasarawa: The home of solid materials, which is coincidentally right beside one of the cleanest states, FCT, scored 12.2 out of 100.
4. Zamfara: scored a total of 14.2 out of 100.
5. Kebbi was a close follower with the same 14.2 percent.
The cleanest states, which were the only states that scored above 50 percent, were Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Abuja.
