Statement of the Problem
From the best of my knowledge, no systematic study has been conducted on the River within the period and the areas mentioned in this work to evaluate its suitability for agro-domestic purposes. River Niger is transboundary water, which many people in Kogi state depend on for their livelihood such as fishing, irrigation purposes, washing and doing household chores. Along the course of the Niger River particularly areas like Idah, Itobe, Shintaku and Lokoja, there were high rate of anthropogenic activities such as washing of clothes and other materials, dumping of wastes, farming activites that could generate wastes, fishing, passing of faeces at the River bank and a host of others. There is no doubt, many pollutants must have been introduced into the River, including heavy metals.The public health significance of the river can not be over emphasized. In the area studied, many of the people living in the settlements along the bank of the River Niger have no access to portable water, and therefore, depend heavily on the river for domestic purpose, fishing, irrigation farming and transportation.Hence the river has to be monitored for pollution to ascertain its suitability for agricultural and domestic purposes
