Sadly only 11 of the 774 LGAs in #Nigeria is certified free from open defecations.
Lack of toilets leading to open defecations has health & environmental implications. Its linked to high prevalence of water- borne diseases like Cholera, diarrhoea etc.

one gram of faeces of a person can contain
10,000,000 viruses
1,000,000 bacteria
1,000 parasite cyst and
100 parasite eggs and pathogens.
If left in the open, these may be carried by the 4 famous four of disease transmission ( flies, fluid ,finger and field )

I commend Gov #Fayemi plans to end open defecation in Ekiti “before 2030”
But that target date is too long.
PM Modi of #India has shown whats possible. Rural sanitation coverage improved in India as below
2014 - 39%
2018 - 76%
2019 - 100%
Ekiti can do this

On a day like this, we need to renew our commitment to ending open defecations by providing toilets everywhere.
We all have a part to play.
We can't make Nigeria the center for open defecations. We must all join hands to change this.
