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 introducing a levy on companies operating in the state. The proposed tax would earmark funds specifically for expanding and maintaining clean‑water supply, sanitation facilities and hygiene promotion programs, aiming to improve public health and meet Sustainable Development Goal 6 targets in Bauchi.
