Make Your Restrooms Accessible To The Masses For Use- Lagos State Government Urges

Lagos State Government through its ministry of environment and Water Resources has called on Banks, Filling Stations and other private Enterprises to open their comfort stations for members of the public for defecation.This according to the commissioner for Environment and Water Resources,Tokunbo Wahab is to secure and make the environment habitable for all in the state.

Hon. Wahab stated that open defecation has been identified as one of the major causes of air and water pollution in the state, stressing the fact that there is the need for urgent collaboration between the state government and private organizations in the fight against environmental degradation and desecration to ensure a safe environment for all and protect lives.

“We currently have 1,710 functioning public toilets strategically located across the state for residents and visitors. However, government cannot do this alone.We are encouraging businesses such as filling stations, banks, eateries, and other public-facing facilities to make their restrooms accessible to the public where possible”,

According to Wahab, individuals caught engaging in open defecation shall be subjected to arrest and duly prosecuted in accordance to the law.
“These measures are necessary to protect public health, preserve dignity, and maintain a cleaner environment for all.
Access to sanitation is a shared responsibility.” The commissioner stated.
