The association also expressed concerns about the high level of taxes being paid to regulatory agencies, adding that the water industry is the only industry currently being regulated by 25 different tax regulatory bodies. In her words: “We want all the regulatory agencies of water to work with ATWAP because it is only through the association you can get all the water producers in Nigeria. “The only local content that goes into our production is water as equipment and other machinery used in water production are imported. We are begging the federal government, because we are the only industry being regulated by 25 regulatory agencies. She added that just like other businesses, infrastructure still remains a great challenge to table water production in the country.
