The United
Nations Children Education Fund (UNICEF) on Monday in Abuja revealed
that about 100 million Nigerians lack access to toilet facilities.
The UN body said the situation is responsible for the increase in the spread of diseases in the country.
According to
the UNICEF Chief Sanitary, Water and Hygiene Officer, Kannan Nadar, who
described the situation as critical said in 2013 alone, 124 deaths and
2,771 cases of cholera epidemics was reported.
"Nigeria has
about 100 million people without access to toilets, this is worrisome,
as it is possible for everyone to own toilet. It doesn't cost
much.Sanitation and toilets are fundamental human rights. Since it is
possible for everyone to own toilet, it is not justified for people to
die of diseases related infections due to open defecation,"
*Na wah..even
Toilet na scarce commodity for the common man…which way Nigeria?All
these stories are really irritatingly depressing abeg!
