West Africa Water Expo: 7th International Water & Waste Water Exhibition, which is organized by Elan Expo, will be held on 20-22 May 2025 at Landmark Center in Lagos, Nigeria.
Improved water sources
Nigeria is one of the biggest countries in Africa with its increasing population and annual GDP rates. With the increase in the population, the urbanization process is speeding and the local people have low-level access to improved water sources and sanitation. Wastewater Management in Lagos State as the case in other parts of Nigeria is minimal, with only a fraction of wastewater being treated.
Sanitation systems currently used in Lagos State include both government and private facilities. The government cannot afford to fill the gap that exists between the current capacity of the state water corporations and the required daily volume for the state’s use. According to the government, the private sector is thus encouraged to invest in the sector.
Wastewater treatment facilities
The General Manager of ELAN EXPO, Mr. Suer Ay illustrates his opinions about the Nigerian Water industry as; "Nigeria is not a water-poor country, it needs more investments. Nigeria produces 1800 m3 of water per capita annually; there are enough water resources for domestic, industrial, agricultural, hydropower, transportation, and recreational uses but there is more need for modern wastewater treatment facilities during the rapid urbanization process."
Mr. Suer Ay adds, "In this year's Wawe Expo 2024, we served the local people to meet international suppliers for Water And Waste Water Treatment, Transport & Storage, Process Control & Automation, Engineering, And Flood Control/Storm Water."
