SANITATION PUSH: The Lagos State Government says it has deployed 1,710 public toilets across the state in a renewed effort to eliminate open defecation and improve public hygiene.
Commissioner for Environment Tokunbo Wahab also called on filling stations, banks, eateries, and other public-facing businesses to make their restrooms accessible to the public where possible, noting that government alone cannot address the challenge.
He added that enforcement is ongoing, with individuals caught engaging in open defecation being arrested and prosecuted under environmental sanitation laws, as part of efforts to protect public health and maintain a cleaner environment.
