Poor access to improved water and sanitation in Nigeria, especially the oil rich Niger delta Communities, remains a major contributing factor to high morbidity and mortality rates among children under five. The use of contaminated drinking water and poor sanitary conditions result in increased vulnerability to water-borne diseases, including diarrhoea which leads to deaths of more than 70,000 children under five annually.

Seventy-three per cent of the diarrhoeal and enteric disease burden is associated with poor access to adequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and is disproportionately borne by poorer children. Frequent episodes of WASH related ill-health in children, contribute to absenteeism in school, and malnutrition. Only 26.5 per cent of the population use improved drinking water sources and sanitation facilities. Also, 23.5 per cent of the population defecate in the open.

It is to this regard that Engr Essien A. Effiong collected water samples from Niger Delta communities and took these samples to the United State of America for a classical laboratory test that gave birth to 'Water Sterilizer Pro & Megatron Pro ', a water treament system that kills 99.99% of micro-organism in water.This water tratment system was designed for the purpose of providing clean water to Niger Delta Communities and Nigerians, Nigerian, Africans and other developing countries around the world.
