Today is #WorldToiletDay
In #Nigeria,
11% of the population
7% of schools
5% of health facilities have access to basic #water, sanitation & #hygiene services.
46 million #Nigerians practice open #defecations making us the 2nd worst country where open defecation is prevalent .
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.
