The Oyo State Government says it is working hard to end open defecation in the state by 2028, saying anyone who goes against the law would be reprimanded. Mr Dotun Oyelade, Commissioner for Information and Orientation, said this at the ongoing media dialogue on ending open defecation in Southwest states on Thursday in Ibadan.
NAN reports that the workshop was organised by UNICEF in collaboration with the Oyo Ministry of Information and Orientation. The workshop has as its theme “Eliminating Open Defecation in Southwest States Nigeria.” Oyelade said the state government had launched media sensitisation and general campaigns against open defecation in the state. The Commissioner said the state Ministry of Justice had been mandated to ensure the prosecution of perpetrators of open defecation in the state.
“The state government is working assiduously to ensure open defecation is reduced drastically by 2028. “It is very sad that Nigeria had been identified in the whole world as the worst place where open defecation takes place. “We are happy and encouraged by what UNICEF is doing in collaboration with states to discourage open defecation,” he said.
