Jabi Lake is a natural water body in Abuja Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It was expanded for commercial fishing following relocation of Nigeria's headquarters to Abuja in 1993. Quantitative analysis of microbiological status of water and fish from the Lake was carried out. Samples were collected from the dam site, open water, middle lake and inlet. Result reveal that total coliform count which are indicators of pollution are high (2.0 x 103 cfu/ml, 1.1 x 103 cfu/ml, 1.0 x 103 cfu/ml and 1.1 x 103 cfu/ml for dam site, open water, middle lake, and inlet respectively). Total viable count too is high (9.2 x 103 cfu/ml, 4.9 x 103 cfu/ml, 4.6 x 103 cfu/ml and 4.9 x 103 cfu/ml for dam site, open water, middle lake and inlet respectively). There are no coliform bacteria in the muscle of the fish. High bacterial load is an indication of biological pollution and these calls for restraint on the side of those who are using the lake as site for refuse dump.
