Ibe Chinedu of the FCT Water Board urged the inclusion of private water producers in stakeholder dialogues.
She urged individuals to become “ambassadors for handwashing” by encouraging others to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
Mr Utsev said the roadmap was an opportunity to change the poor narrative of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) indices in the country.
Mr Utsev noted that investment in hygiene infrastructure and products must be accelerated in schools, homes, healthcare facilities, and public places.
Water resources minister Joseph Utsev commemorated the 2023 Global Handwashing Day, themed: ‘Clean Hands are within our Reach’.
