The State of SDG 6 in Nigeria (2016-2024): A Critical Review of Progress and Future Strategies.
Review in Environmental health insights, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ensuring access to clean water and sanitation is not only fundamental to public health but also a critical driver of economic productivity and sustainable development. In Nigeria, where millions still lack reliable access to these basic services, evaluating progress towards global targets is crucial. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 aims to ensure universal access to safe and affordable water and sanitation by 2030. This study assesses Nigeria's performance in implementing SDG 6, identifying trends, gaps, and challenges in water and sanitation access. A qualitative review approach was adopted, relying on secondary data sources, including reports from the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, the National Bureau of Statistics, and international organisations such as the United Nations, WHO, UNICEF, and the World Bank. Peer-reviewed journal articles and academic publications were also analysed. Content analysis and comparative assessments with other African countries were conducted to provide broader insights. Findings indicate that, despite increased awareness and improvements in some areas, Nigeria's progress remains uneven. Rural and conflict-affected regions continue to face persistent challenges due to inadequate infrastructure investment and governance inefficiencies. Strengthening governance frameworks, enhancing policy transparency, enforcing regulations, and boosting infrastructure investment-particularly in underserved regions-are recommended to accelerate progress. These measures are vital for achieving SDG 6 and advancing national development priorities.
