LSWMO seals off Lagos building without toilet
On Friday, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) said it sealed off a building without a toilet around the Agege area.
The Ministry of Environment and Water Resources commissioner, Tokunbo Wahab, who announced this on X, said it was aimed at achieving a sustainable environment.
“LSWMO in continued demonstration of its commitment to 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 fecal matter,” he said.
While commending Adefemi Afolabi, LSWMO’s general manager, who led the compliance team to the property, he said the Lagos government could not afford the occurrence of another cholera outbreak.
“Citizens are further advised to embrace proper sanitation and hygiene practices to enhance public health and environmental sustainability,” he said.
