The Oyo State government and stakeholders in Ibarapa East Local Government Area have reaffirmed their dedication to promoting the use of toilets and good hygiene practices in every community across the council area.
This commitment was made during the inauguration of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) training of environmental officers and RUWASSA staff held at Plaza de Aruna in Oyo.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Mrs. Oluwasherimi Ajetumobi appreciated the good efforts of the Oyo state government and the United Nations Children Education Funds (UNICEF).
Dr. Ajetumobi specifically applauded the efforts of the present administration in phasing out open defecation in the state towards curbing the preventable outbreak of epidemic.
She called for collaboration among all stakeholders at ensuring an overall improvement in the general health and sanitation of Ibarapa East.
“This shows that the Oyo State Government has extended its commitment to end open defecation, not only in Ibarapa East LGA, but in the whole state,” she said.
