Abstract
This report represents the Country Case Study for Nigeria from the World Bank Global Dam Safety Study (Wishart et al, 2017) involving 51 country case studies and assessment of dam safety regulatory frameworks along legal, institutional, regulatory, financial, technical and transboundary metrics. The case study and report applies a novel analytical framework to the current Nigerian dam safety assurance system and identifies potential policy and practice actions towards dam safety improvement for the jurisdictional circumstances of Nigeria, a country highly dependent on dams and that has experienced several dam incidents in recent years.
