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 proposed introducing a levy on companies operating in the state. The tax would be earmarked for funding WASH infrastructure such as boreholes, latrines and hygiene education, aiming to improve access to safe water and sanitation for residents while reducing the fiscal burden on the state budget.
