After more than 22 years of operating, producing and distributing drinking water in Niger, Société d'Exploitation des Eaux du Niger (SEEN) is leaving the country. The subsidiary of France's Veolia, whose contract expired on 31 December 2022, is handing over to Nigérienne des Eaux, which was officially launched on 5 January to ensure the continuity of drinking water management in this West African country.
