Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Sanitation and waste management have become key issues for local governments across Nigeria, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas like Kumbotso South Local Government Area (LGA) in Kano State. Rapid population growth, urbanization, and inadequate waste management systems have led to significant challenges in maintaining cleanliness and public health. Effective waste management systems are essential for preventing diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and improving the quality of life in local communities. Local governments, as the closest level of government to the people, play a critical role in managing waste and promoting sanitation through policies, regulations, and programs. In Kumbotso South LGA, local government interventions have focused on waste collection, disposal, recycling initiatives, and public education campaigns aimed at improving sanitation practices. However, challenges such as limited funding, poor infrastructure, and insufficient public awareness continue to hinder the full effectiveness of local government efforts in sanitation and waste management. This study aims to investigate the impact of local government policies on sanitation and waste management in Kumbotso South LGA, assessing their effectiveness and identifying areas for improvement.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
