The Minister, Mr Sunday Dare, said this in Abuja when the Minister of Water Resources, Engr. Suleiman Adamu paid him a courtesy visit.
“The practice has had a negative effect on the populace and has therefore contributed to the country’s inability to meet up with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ,” he said. He said that the ministry in 2021, held a nationwide Sensitization programme, tagged, “Clean Nigeria: Use the Toilet”, which was carried out through lectures and trainings.
He called on all levels of government to continue to promote and prioritise disease control and prevention through adequate and equitable access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene service.
