LAGOS STATE GOVERMENT TO START SEALING OFF HOUSES WITHOUT STANDERD TOILETS

The Lagos State Government said on Monday in Lagos that it had begun to seal off houses without standard toilets.

Mr. Oluwatoyin Awosika, the Director of Public Enlightenment in the state’s Ministry of Information and Strategy, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the closure of the houses was to check “unwholesome practices” such as open defecation.

According to him, the government is also embarking on public enlightenment to educate residents on the dangers of open defecation.

“We would continue to educate people on the need to stop open defaecation.“Again, you don’t blame some of these people for doing these things, so many houses don’t have toilets.
