In Nigeria, the sanitary situation is critical, yet the government is not taking action to solve the issue. Austin Nwangwu expresses his opinion of the situation. He includes details about the problem, common throughout the country.
Wherever one goes the storyline is the same – a daunting souvenir of open refuse dumps, sometimes mountains of them, displayed in odious visual ads.

It appears that most governments and regulators in Nigeria see issues of waste generation and safe disposal as intractable.
