He Stated That Sanitation Remains Central To National Priorities, Encompassing Health, Education, Agriculture, And Economic Growth. He Also Emphasised That President Bola Tinubu’s Administration Has Placed Wash At The Centre Of Its Development Agenda, Including The Establishment Of The Federal Ministry Of Water Resources And Sanitation. Earlier In His Welcome Remarks, The Minister Of Water Resources And Sanitation, Prof. Joseph Utsev, Said The Conference Provides A Platform For Dialogue, Innovation, And Partnership To Accelerate Sanitation Progress. Describing Sanitation As “A Cornerstone Of Human Development And A Key Determinant Of National Prosperity,” Utsev Noted That The Ministry Convened The Conference In Collaboration With Partners To Consolidate Progress Under Major National Initiatives Such As The Clean Nigeria: Use The Toilet Campaign, And To Advance Actions That Will Ensure Universal Access To Safely Managed Sanitation Services. He Said Participants Will Review Achievements Recorded Through National Wash Programmes And Discuss How To Scale Up Evidence-Based Solutions, Strengthen Coordination Across Government Levels, And Attract The Investments Needed To Meet The Country’s Sanitation Targets. “I Am Particularly Pleased That This Maiden Conference Brings Together Government Officials, Development Partners, Researchers, Civil Society Organisations, The Private Sector And Other Stakeholders,” Utsev Said, Noting That Such Multi-Sector Engagement Is Essential For Achieving Sdg 6 On Water And Sanitation By 2030. The Minister Expressed Deep Appreciation To President Bola Ahmed Tinubu For Providing The Policy Direction And Enabling Environment For Progress Within The Wash Sector, And To Vice President Kashim Shettima For His Leadership Of The Clean Nigeria Campaign And The National Steering Committee.
