Student leaders move to bridge the gap.
Students of the Ekiti State University , Ado Ekiti, have lamented the absence of clean and adequate toilets on their campus.In places where there are toilets, PREMIUM TIMES gathered that these are not managed.
“The available toilets don’t have cleaners to fix them. Some have not been washed and makes students even scared of contaminating disease,” he said. Shade Olaonipekun said: “Yes, there is no toilet for students, but I go to the office of some of our lecturers. The Dean of Faculty of Social Science, out of generosity built toilet for the department but not properly managed which renders it useless,” she said.“Unfortunately, I don’t bother coming to school at all during my period because there is no good toilet to clean myself,” a final year student, who did not want her name in print, said.
“In Faculty of Science, the faculty constructed toilet but for business purpose. You pay N20 to urinate and N50 to defecate,” Ajayi Komolafe said.“The money they charge is for maintenance of the toilets. Since the university management did not find the toilets as one of the amenities needed in a school, the students’ body did an alternative, and for proper maintenance, they have to charge students,” Mr Komolafe added.
“Before buildings are approved for use, there should be toilet facilities… Let me ask the work department in my own office. I have a toilet that I use and allow students who come around to use,” he said.
