This was contained in a statement signed and issued by Head,Press and Public Relations Unit, Ibrahim Haruna.
The Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal stated this as part of activities lined up in Nigeria to commemorate World Toilet Day .
The Director, Pollution Control and Environmental Health Department of the Ministry, Engr. Bahijjahtu Abubakar who issued the statement on behalf of the Minister stated that 19th November of every year is marked as World Toilet Day as designated by the United Nations.
The Minister reiterated that it’s a special day to raise awareness about the critical role sanitation plays in human lives, health and the planet’s future.
The 2024 World Toilet Day is themed; “Toilets: A Place for Peace” while the national slogan for this year’s event is “Use the toilet and have peace”.
This theme emphasized that sanitation is a critical aspect of human dignity and global security. It also emphasized the vital connection between sanitation and peace.
He reiterated that safe toilets for all by 2030’ is one of the targets of Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) 6. Unfortunately, toilets are often taken for granted, but they provide essential protection for human health, safety and dignity.
Balarabe lamented that if toilet systems don’t work or don’t exist, it creates an avenue for untreated human waste to spread in the environment, resulting to deadly diseases such as cholera and typhoid.
He further disclosed that open defecation pollutes the ecosystems, threatening biodiversity. This is evidenced by the 1.6 million annual deaths resulting from diahrroeal diseases; 50% of global malnutrition cases, increased Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).
