PARIS, DECEMBER 22, 2016: (DGW) THE United Nations special rapporteur, Leo Heller, has called the attention of the authorities in Nigeria's commercial capital, Lagos, need to invest more in providing water and sanitation services to its more than 20 million residents, BBC reports.

According to him, ''It is profoundly worrying how many millions of people are exposed to this level of vulnerability."
Many people are drilling wells to get access to water in Lagos state

His comments come as the Lagos House of Assembly discusses the state's annual budget.
