      abstract = {Small-scale water borehole drilling companies (SSWBDCs) are critical to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6.1 in Nigeria, yet they are plagued by operational inefficiencies, variable construction quality, and poor record-keeping (Danert et al., 2009). This article proposes a strategic Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) intervention framework designed to address the specific contextual gaps prevalent in the Nigerian environment. The framework centers on the integration of Digitalization (SCM 4.0), Lean Management, and Ethical Sourcing to significantly improve project efficacy, operational efficiency, and financial profitability, while establishing a robust foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. The recommendations, supported by empirical case studies, serve to professionalize the sector, moving SSWBDCs towards resilient, value-driven operations.},
