Lagos State government has warned residents against open defecation and reiterated the necessity of promoting sanitation habits.
Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services in the state’s Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Gaji Omobolaji, gave the charge at Agege Local Council Secretariat during a meeting with community and religious leaders.
He noted that the state adopted decentralisation of the campaign against open defecation and use of toilets to reach the hinterlands. He listed the initiatives as provision of public toilets and bathrooms in each Local Council and Local Council Development Area ; construction of community wastewater treatment plants; development of an integrated waste management system; and expansion and protection of water sources to improve the city’s water supply.
Omobolaji said the sensitisation technique is driving tools in achieving an open defecation free Lagos, stressing that the campaign must be people-centered and community-based.
