Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Access to clean drinking water is fundamental to public health, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. In Chanchaga LGA, Niger State, challenges such as water pollution, limited infrastructure, and poor maintenance of facilities have hindered access to safe drinking water. Public relations (PR) plays a critical role in addressing these issues through advocacy, community mobilization, and stakeholder engagement. By leveraging strategic communication, PR initiatives can increase public awareness of water hygiene, encourage policy interventions, and promote collaborative efforts to ensure equitable access to clean water. Recent studies underscore the effectiveness of PR in advancing water management solutions and driving behavioral change (Ahmed & Musa, 2023).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the efforts of government agencies and non-governmental organizations, access to clean drinking water remains a persistent challenge in Chanchaga LGA. The lack of adequate awareness campaigns, insufficient stakeholder involvement, and limited public participation exacerbate the problem. This study investigates the role of PR in bridging these gaps and facilitating sustainable access to clean drinking water.
