tested high impact interventions implying the need for consistent implementation of such high impact interventions in the sector. With respect to the incidence of tuberculosis per 100,000 people, the efforts have not produced appreciable results. In the past 7 years, the value for this indicator has fluctuated between 343.00 in 2005 and 339.00 in 2012. The end-point status of the incidence of tuberculosis in Nigeria was 338 as of 2013. This latest figure is still unacceptable and calls for renewed efforts, more resources and interventions in order to drastically reduce the prevalence of tuberculosis. Overall Conclusion on Goal 6: Appreciable progress in combating HIV and AIDS, but weak progress in other diseases. Goal not met. MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability: - Nigeria has made appreciable progress in improving households’ access to safe drinking water with an end-point status in 2015 at 67.0% access. The country is also deemed to have done well on this indicator from the statistics of the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) / United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO) indicating the recorded end-point status of 69% in 2015. This compares well with the baseline figure of 40% in 1990. However, there are wide disparities in access to safe drinking water across states, with those in the south having higher access than those in the north. Nevertheless, in Nigeria as a whole, there is a good policy environment for the provision of safe drinking water with the Conditional Grant Scheme (CGS) being a major policy driver of the intervention in all parts of the country and mostly in the rural areas. Again, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and its parastatals, as well as the Federal Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, along with many donors have played prominent roles in the provision of safe drinking water to Nigerians. Given the existence of many policy drivers targeting both the urban and rural areas for improved access to safe drinking water, as well as the scaling up of interventions, it is only a matter of time for safe drinking water to be available to a large majority of Nigerians. The success recorded in the provision of safe drinking water has, however, not been witnessed with respect to the proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities. The endpoint status of only 41% using improved sanitation facilities in 2014 is not encouraging and in fact, suggests weak progress in this indicator. The JMP estimate is even worse here, as it recoded 29% for this indicator in 2015. The percentage of the urban population living in slums has been on the decline since 1990. From a baseline figure of 77.3% in 1990, it declined to an end-point status of 50.2% in 2014. Although this implies strong progress, the number of persons living in slums is still very alarming and also considering that the number of slum dwellers has been on the rise owing to increasing housing deficits of 16-18 million units against the reality of growing number of cities with populations of one million and over. Overall Conclusion on Goal 7: Strong progress in the provision of safe drinking water but weak progress in other indicators. Goal not met. MDG 8: Develop a global partnership for Development: - Nigeria has performed better on this goal as compared to the others. There has been a rising trend in per capita Official Development Assistance (ODA) with potential impact felt in infrastructure and human development. The appreciable decline in debt service as a percentage of exports of goods and services is attributed to the debt relief granted in 2005. The socio-economic benefits associated with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has seen to appreciable growth in the industry. The growth in the number 96
