Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in schools are very vital components that help in giving children their rights and facilitates achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs). Particularly, learning and development of children can only be best when the environment is providing improved accessible water, sanitation, and proper hygiene. This paper examined the level of WASH among primary schools in Sokoto state, Nigeria. A descriptive survey was used. Three hundred schools were visited and inspected using structured questionnaire and convenience sampling technique. Some participants were interviewed. At the end, the data was managed using thematic analysis to yield descriptive parameters. The level of various WASH components were revealed and they were poor. Thus, the government should put more efforts, health providers, advocates, educators, and relations should rise with advocacy to mobilise action and community participation.
