Part 5/8:
The discussions were further enriched by insights from the guest speaker, a professor of environmental science at Lagos State University. Highlighting Africa’s position as one of the driest continents – with pronounced scarcity of clean water – he linked the continent's water crisis to the high volume of untreated wastewater being discharged into water bodies. His sentiments resonated with the attendees, echoing a shared responsibility for water conservation and environmental protection.
The professor stated that sustainable solutions to enhance access to clean water are dependent not just on government initiatives but also on the community’s active participation in wastewater management.
