Bauchi WASH stakeholders propose a tax on companies

The Bauchi State Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) stakeholders—a coalition of government agencies, NGOs, community groups and private‑sector partners—have recommended that the state impose a modest levy on companies operating in Bauchi. The proposed tax would generate dedicated revenue for expanding and maintaining clean‑water supply, sanitation facilities and hygiene promotion programs, helping the state meet national WASH targets and improve public health.
