Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and a key determinant of public health. In many rural areas of Nigeria, including Kuje Local Government Area (LGA) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), waterborne diseases are a major health concern due to the consumption of unsafe water. Radio jingles, which are short, catchy, and easily memorable audio advertisements, have been used effectively to promote public health messages. These jingles can raise awareness about the importance of safe drinking water practices, such as boiling or filtering water, and encourage communities to adopt hygienic water practices. This study explores the influence of radio jingles on safe drinking water practices in Kuje LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In Kuje LGA, unsafe drinking water is a significant health risk, and many residents lack awareness of proper water treatment methods. While radio jingles have been used in other areas to promote health practices, there is limited research on their effectiveness in promoting safe drinking water practices in Kuje LGA. This study aims to assess the influence of radio jingles in encouraging safe drinking water practices and improving public health in the area.
