This study assessed the quality of Dutse abattoir wastewater being discharged into the environment. Grab sampling method was used to collect twelve (12) wastewater samples over the period of four (4) weeks. Temperature, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), nitrates, sulfate, phosphate, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and total heterotrophic bacterial count (THBC) were analyzed using standardized methods. Results obtained show that the
