 CURBING OPEN DEFECATION: LASG, WATERAID, PRIVATE SECTOR COLLABORATE TO BUILD 350 PUBLIC TOILETS IN LAGOS  The Lagos State Government, in collaboration with WaterAid Plan and private operators, is set to build 350 more public toilets across the state to curb widespread open defecation and maintain hygiene and sanitation.  This is just as the State WaterAid team lead gave a projection that by 2028, the organisation will reach 10 million residents directly and another 17 million indirectly through interventions with basic Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) access. Speaking at a roundtable over the weekend, the Special Adviser on Environment, Engr. Olakunle Rotimi-Akodu said work has started on some of the toilets including identifying the locations for them.

Anti-demolition protest rocks Kano


Describe Abba yusuf Demolition policy as destructive 


Victims of the demolition spree embarked upon by Kano State government have taken to the streets in their hundreds to condemn what they describe as destructive


The protesters gathered, Monday morning, at the front of the demolished muliti-million Naira Daula Hotel along Hadejia Road, in the metropolis carrying placards with various inscriptions condemning the government policy.


Some of the placards read: ā€œDo the right thing Abba Kabir Yusufā€, ā€œDonā€™t drive away investors from Kanoā€, ā€œBillions of Naira property demolished because of envyā€ among various others.


Addressing newsmen at the protest, the organisers headed by the Director, Research and Development Coalition for Good Governance and Change Initiative, Zahraddee Baba, said that it is unfortunate property worth N226 billion has been destroyed within three weeks of the new government.


The group also called on the government to compensate the victims whose property were demolished.


ā€œWe, the people of Kano State, unanimously voted for Governor Abba Yusuf to bring development to the state.


ā€œIt was believed that, the governor is the messiah of the time, who shall continue with peopleā€™s oriented programmes of his predecessor to salvage the people of Kano State.


ā€œIt is unfortunate that within six days in office, the perceived messiah became a source of sorrow to many residents and indigenes of Kano State, who acquired land from the previous administration of Abdullahi Ganduje, when he ordered demolition of properties worth over N226 billion within three weeks in office.


ā€œLet it be on record that six days in office is insignificant for a people-oriented government to order demolition of properties because the time allowed by law for such notice was not followed.
