The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office announced on Friday that a building lacking a toilet in the Agege area has been sealed off.
Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner of the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, underlined the need of establishing a sustainable environment in a post on his official social media account.
“LSWMO in continued demonstration of its commitment to a sustainable environment, proper sanitation and public health safety in the state has sealed off a residential property on Adedosu Street, Otubu, Agege.
“This was following the receipt of a public complaint from concerned residents.
“The bungalow with over 10 rooms has no toilet facilities but dilapidated pit latrines filled with exposed faecal matter,” he said.
While acknowledging the commendable leadership of the General Manager, Adefemi Afolabi, who spearheaded the compliance team at the property, he emphasized that the Lagos State Government could not tolerate the risk of another cholera outbreak.
“Citizens are further advised to embrace proper sanitation and hygiene practices to enhance public health and environmental sustainability,” he said.
