4.3 million people defecate openly in Oyo — UNICEF

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), on Monday, said about 4.3 million people in Oyo still practice open defecation, while 5.6 million people lack decent toilets, calling on the State government to fast-track its effort to meet its target of ending open defecation by 2028.

UNICEF Lagos Field Officer, Wash Specialist, Mr Monday Johnson, speaking at the 2023 World Toilet Day Celebration in Ibadan, said 83 per cent of motor parks and markets in the State also lack toilet facilities, despite open defecation’s effect on health, education, nutrition, and sometimes exacerbating poverty.

At the celebration organised by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources in collaboration with the Oyo State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency and UNICEF Lagos Field Office, Mr Johnson said UNICEF had ed two local governments in ending open defecation, but nothing happened, and it is time for the state to tackle the problem in the remaining 31 local governments.

Mr Johnson said that UNICEF had ed two local governments in ending open defecation, but nothing happened, and it is time for the state to tackle the problem in the remaining 31 local governments.

According to him, “UNICEF has only ed starting the programme in 2 LGAs, which means that 31 LGAs are still there with nothing happening. Now, it is time for Oyo State to pick up. Oyo State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency has worked with UNICEF for the past 2 years; they now have the capacity.

“The Ministry of Environment is now coming in, and I am seeing that enthusiasm in the Commissioner, and everyone that is related to hygiene and sanitation should now come in to do something that will change the situation in Oyo.

“The open defection road map was to start in 2022 and end in 2028; Oyo State has not started, and almost 2 years are lost now. Oyo State only has about 2028 between now and 2028 to meet its target. So we need to work almost six times faster than we are now to be able to meet the target.”

Mr Johnson declared that one in four Nigerians still defecate in the open and that Nigeria is off track in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, requiring that something be done to change the narrative.
Oyo State Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Mr Mojeed Mogbanjubola, stated earlier in his keynote address that the World Toilet Day celebration was a call to action and a collective reminder of the responsibility to address access to proper sanitation as a basic human right.
He, however, said that sanitation is more than just toilets; it is about health, dignity, and equality because its absence ends up perpetrating a circle of disease, imparting education, and exacerbating gender inequality.

“Beyond the immediate human impact, inadequate sanitation practices have severe consequences for our environment, contaminate water sources, cause soil degradation, and release pollutants. So collaboration is key to changing the sanitation landscape. By working together, we can harness our collective strengths to implement sustainable solutions, share best practices, and drive positive changes within our communities.”

The wife of Oyo governor, Mrs Makinde, said women and girls often bear the disproportionate burden of inadequate sanitation and expressed her commitment to fostering dialogue, awareness, and action around sanitation as well.

She called for the breaking of all barriers that impede progress towards universal access to toilet facilities and for Nigerians to be champions for the cause of the provision of toilets in a bid to ensure that no one is left behind without a dignified toilet facility.

One thing is certain, some nairalanders will turn this to a tribal thing....... .Most of these nincompoops will appear like reasonable people when you see them but on faceless forums like these, all they spread is hate......

However, if this report is true, the authorities must act swiftly.

Suffersticated omoluabis no get toilet for those their brown roof houses 😂

Ebonyi is the worst

Goooood...

When we tell them that Apart from Lagos, ( which was built by the British) South West is actually South West...dem no gree...

What this report connotes is that your chances of matching shit ( both dried or fresh one ) while galavanting on ten toes in Oyo is 99.9%

So always make use of your private car, public bus or bike while going about your business in Oyo...🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

Open dedication is like a norn in the south west.
Go to Oshodi-Badagry expressway especially Between mile 2 and alakija. You will see able bodied men line up in the middle of the road to dedicate like animals.

The report from the op is incomplete and deliberately done

We won’t keep quiet

1. Ebonyi is 73%
2. Plateau is 56
3. Kogi 56

4. Oyo 54

But op is obviously a tribal bigot with no shame
