INTRODUCTION 1.1
Background of the Study Nigeria is blessed
by nature with a lot of natural resources amongst which water is one of them;
World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed that Nigeria was blessed with
abundant water resources, the excess of which has been causing flood and
erosion in many part of the country.
However, the distribution of this water resources was not evenly
spreaded over the country, life and other agricultural activities every year
irrespective of the draught that frequently occur in the Northern part of the
country of course, man had been obtaining water for domestic and other
purposes since man’s creation. Water
supply can therefore be said to be as old as man itself. Inspite
of the availability of resource, WHO (1976) maintained that “its supply to
the majority of the population especially, the rural areas is very much
inadequate”. Anambra state of Niger Edict No. 16 (1978) simply defined rural
water supply as a wide category of scheme ranging from a well width buchet
supplying water to a few isolated but to river pumping scheme from such a
simple treatment as communal stand pipes to tap in individuals homes and
provisions for livestock and vegetable gardens. Ilo
(1991), however stated that various traditional means of obtaining water has
been developed by individual and communities for many centuries and that some
of these systems were very much in use by various communities both rural and
urban. The United Nations
Economic commission for Africa (1973) confirmed that it was only about 20% of
the population of Nigeria that have access to potable water supply. It further stated that majority of these
people are those that are living in the urban and semi urban area of the
country and that even the privileged places that has access to such
facilities were not being served sufficiently. Thus
the need for the provision of adequate water supply and sanitation is highly
appreciated. And this had promoted the
choice of the topic on the management and operational problems of rural water
supply in Nigeria. A case study of water corporation Awka, with a view to
recommending solutions which if accepted, would help to solve these problems
and as well, facilitates to the alleviation of the sobering of the people. Water
Corporation Awka was established as a parastatal under Anambra State of
Nigeria Edict No.16 of (1978). The
corporation was originally charged with the statutory responsibility of
supplying drinking water to all the urban as well as the rural communities of
old Anambra State. It was formerly the
water section of then East Central State Ministry of Works and Housing. The general manage is responsible of the
day to day running of the corporation, while the board of directors or the
commissioner of the controlling ministry in the absence of the governing
board, is responsible for policy matters only. Umeh
(1993) stated that the corporation is presently operating eleven (11) zonal
offices in the state including Awka.
He stated that the corporation is principally maintained from
government subventions and budget allocation for capital projects and from
internally generated revenue, water tariffs, sales of metres, fees etc, for
its day to day operations 1.2
Statement Of The Problem Awka
as a growing industrial and commercial town has been without adequate supply
of potable water. This potable water
supply inadequacies being experienced in the rural communities of Awka have
been brought about by many factors.
Despite the huge sums of money being sum into these rural water
supply, yet water is still very inadequate. 1. It has been difficult for the society to
understand the extent of the aims and objectives for setting up the water
corporation. 2. Another problem is whether the resources both
human and material are adequate. 3. The attitude of water consumers have also
constituted a problems. 4. The instability in government and
constant changes in leadership. 1.3
Objectives Of The Study The purpose of this
research project on the management and operational problems of rural water
supply in Nigeria. A case study of
water corporation Awka to investigate the followings. 1. The extent to which the aims and
objectives of rural water supply programme are being achieved in Nigeria with
particular reference to Awka rural communities. 2. To find out the extent of adequacy and
suitability of materials and human resources for change in rural water supply
programme in Awka. 3. To ascertain the extent to which the
changes in government and leadership affect the steady water supply. 4. To find out the extent to which the
management and operational problems affect the functionality of the rural
water supply service in Nigeria with respect to Awka. 1.4
Research Questions To guide this study
five research questions were formulated, they include the following. 1. What are the characteristics of rural
water staff and socio-economic characteristic of rural household? 2. To what extent are the aims and
objectives of rural water supply programme being achieved in water
co-operation? 3. How adequate and suitable are the
materials and human resources for change in rural water supply programme in
Awka? 4. To what extent does the management and
operational problems affect the functionality of rural water supply services
in Awka. 5. To what extent does the changes
government and leadership affect the management of water corporation Awka? 1.5
Significance of the Study The issue of the
benefits in effective and increased water supply in the rural areas of Awka
cannot be overemphasized as it has been stated earlier. Inadequate water supply coupled by
sanitation had been the bare of rural communities in Awka. 1. The growing industrial and commercial
town of Awka has been without adequate supply of potable water since the
collapse of the two boreholes at Umuokpu pumping station. 2. It is however hoped that the research the
management and operational problems of rural water corporation Awka will
provide information, which if utilized, will help in finding solution to the
above problems. 3. The information gathered from this study
is also expected to serve as a basic for social policy decisions which will
enable the government to designs specific policies that will be beneficial to
the community and will improve and enhances the efficiency of water
corporation Awka. 4. It is also hoped that participation in
this research project will help to burden the knowledge of the researcher, in
the field of management & operation. 1.6 Scope of the Study According
to Akpakpam (2005:7), the scope of the study is limits or boundary lines
covers by the research or the extent the researchers would go. However, the scope of the study covers the
management and operational problems of rural water supply in Nigeria using
Water Cooperation Awka as the case study. |
