Adoyi John Ochigbo
Executive Director | Integrated Water Resources Management & Sustainable Development Expert
Leads SURBACH’s technical direction across water resources, climate resilience and sustainable development.
SURBACH is a Nigerian non-profit technical advisory and development organisation working at the intersection of water security, climate resilience, environmental sustainability, public health and community development.

We believe many of Nigeria's most pressing development challenges are interconnected and must be addressed at the scale where water, ecosystems, communities and economic activity meet: the River Basin.
From our headquarters in Abuja, SURBACH combines scientific expertise, strategic advisory, policy engagement, project development, capacity building and community-level implementation to advance resilient and thriving River Basins across Nigeria.
A Nigeria where every River Basin is climate-resilient, water-secure and capable of supporting healthy, prosperous and thriving communities.
To support governments, communities and partners to detect, analyse, design and deliver Basin-level solutions.
The Basin gives institutions a shared frame for seeing how interventions interact — and for designing responses that are technically sound, socially grounded and ready to deliver.
Our team brings together expertise across water, environment, public health, digital systems and social wellbeing.
