Severe water scarcity has hit Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, forcing residents to rely on stagnant pools, ponds and other unsafe sources for their daily water needs.
Residents across several communities have been seen scooping muddy water from shallow, open ponds often contaminated with animal waste and debris.
However, a staff member of the ministry, said the ministry was aware of the situation and that efforts were being made to repair some of the faulty boreholes.
