Open Defecation: Residents, Motorists Beg Sanwo-Olu To Build Mega Toilets At Obalende

PAUL IYOGHOJIE

Concerned residents of Obalende and motorists passing through the area to their various places of work have appealed passionately to Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to as a matter of urgency build a mega public toilet at Obalende to stop the worrisome open defecation on the bridges and sideways.

Some of those who spoke with our Correspondent in the area at the weekend stated that the open defecation on the bridges and other places is still going on due to lack of public toilets in the area since the demolition of the available ones in the area about seven years ago.

They appealed to  Governor Sanwo-Olu to urgently build mega public toilets at the Obalende Motor Parks and open spaces  in the area to stop the open defecation in the area, saying more than 10,000 Lagosians transit through Obalende to their respective places of work daily so as to continue to sustain the mega city status Lagos is known for.

They said the open defecation in the area is not only an eyesore but could trigger epidemic which the Government would be battling with scarce resources.

They however praised the Governor for his unprecedented achievements in all areas since assuming office, pleading that he should complete his unparalleled achievements by building mega public toilets at P&T roundabout and Obalende to stop open defecation by road users who are pressed but have no toilets to use.
