This study assessed water quality of MDG’s boreholes in Kuje Area Council Abuja with a view to determine its suitability for human consumption, to achieve this, the study embarked on physic-chemical characteristics of water samples and comparison of result obtained in above with WHO Drinking Water Standard, in the study area and value obtained were compared with WHO 2011 drinking water guidelines, GPS was employed for reference purpose, Ten, borehole were sampled and analyzed in laboratory using standard  method or guidelines procedures suggested by American Public Health Association APHA (1995); Result obtained were computed using statistical analysis of mean, STDE, range, variables and  %cv; values were compared with WHO 2011 drinking water guidelines; Result reveal that, PH and alkalinity were high in some sampled  boreholes, while Temp, Ec, Thb, Turbidity and Tds are normal  for drinking Borehole water in the study area. Further and trial laboratory test can be conducted in the study area at wet and dry season, geophysics survey report is required in any subsequence drilling, water hygiene should be advocated and water treatment is required before human can consume borehole water in the study area.
