About the event

‘Repeated malfunction and failure of water supply infrastructure poses a critical challenge to equitable and sustainable water access and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals in most sub-Saharan African countries. A governing approach that ignores power and historical relations in water infrastructure management presents interesting conceptual, theoretical, and practical problems. With Nigeria as a case study, I seek to understand these problems by asking the question: what are the changing effects of power on water infrastructure failure?’
