Waterpreneurs cash in on Nigerian government s failur

It’s 2pm in Sagbo Kodji, a coastal community that overlooks the Lagos Apapa seaports and high-rise buildings of Lagos Island, the commercial district of the city.  Close to a littered jetty, where passengers disembark from dozens of wooden boats, stands Bolanle Taiwo’s wooden house. For laundry, Bolanle Taiwo uses water from a public well. Well water is hard and forces her to use more detergent to make it lather up. She fetches well water and allows it to settle for a few days before using it.

She adds a handful of detergent into the water she got from a nearby well, but it does not lather with soap because it’s “hard water” water with a high concentration of dissolved minerals.
