No fewer than one hundred and sixty-seven million Nigerians lacked access to basic hygiene services, the minister of water resources, Engr. Suleiman Adamu has said.
Our correspondent reports that basic handwashing and other essential hygiene practices were part of the campaigns that gained more traction owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Handwashing with soap is critical to disease prevention and not only helps people improve their health, but also removes barriers to economic opportunity, allows children to learn and grow, and helps strengthen communities.
The minister however reiterated the federal government’s determination to sustain the campaign for basic hygiene noting “as you may be aware, the ‘Clean Nigeria: Use the Toilet’ Campaign to end open defecation in the country by the target year of 2025 is ongoing.”
