Background of the Study
Water resource management is a critical issue in many regions of Nigeria, where access to clean and safe water remains a significant challenge. In Minna Local Government, Niger State, water scarcity, pollution, and poor infrastructure continue to affect access to potable water. The Nigerian government, in collaboration with local authorities, has introduced several water resource management policies to address these issues, such as the National Water Policy, the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) framework, and various state-level initiatives aimed at improving water access, sanitation, and management (Mohammed & Sani, 2024). These policies aim to ensure sustainable water use, improve access to clean water for residents, and reduce water-related diseases (Aminu & Alhaji, 2023). However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, financial constraints, and poor policy enforcement persist, limiting the success of these policies in Minna. This study evaluates the effectiveness of water resource management policies in Minna Local Government, exploring their impact on water accessibility and the quality of life for local residents.

This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of these water resource management policies in Minna, identifying the barriers to implementation and evaluating the overall impact on water accessibility and quality of life.
