There is need for the building of modern wastewater treatment facilities in the cities as a result of rapid urbanization. Installations for treating and recycling industrial and sewage wastewater are in demand as this will impact the environment positively and prevent contamination of both surface and groundwater.

As a result of the collapse of public water supply system in Lagos and other major cities around Nigeria, there is the need for private sector initiatives in building and providing water to captive communities using the PPP model.

Take Lagos for example, the prime locations such as Lekki, Victoria Island, Ikoyi etc suffer from high saline content in both surface and groundwater because they are mostly situated on land reclaimed from the ocean.

Hence there is a thriving business of fresh water being hauled into households through water tankers. This is quite expensive. This presents an opportunity for an investor to build a desalinization/treatment plant with the resulting piping network to supply metered water to this high net worth neighbourhoods.

Such opportunities exists across the country, though some areas may not need desalinizing but just normal treatment facilities.
