Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Sanitation is a critical aspect of public health and community well-being, and local governments have a central role in ensuring proper sanitation services. Daura Local Government Area (LGA) in Katsina State, like many other Nigerian LGAs, faces challenges related to waste management, access to clean water, and effective sanitation practices (Abubakar & Usman, 2023). The local government has implemented various sanitation policies over the years, including waste collection programs, awareness campaigns, and infrastructure development aimed at improving public health and living conditions. However, despite these efforts, sanitation issues such as inadequate waste disposal, lack of awareness, and poor infrastructure persist in Daura. This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of sanitation policies implemented by Daura LGA, the challenges encountered, and potential solutions to improve sanitation in the area.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts by the Daura LGA to improve sanitation through various policies and initiatives, the community continues to face significant sanitation challenges, including poor waste disposal practices and limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of local government sanitation policies in Daura and identify the barriers to achieving a cleaner and healthier environment.
