Saleko said the ministry has initiated a programme titled “Clean and Green” in which one of its aims is to eliminate open defecation in Nigeria by 2025 and ensure sustainable total sanitation and implementation of green technology initiatives in Nigeria.

He said the National Environmental Sanitation Policy and its guidelines on sewage and excreta management in the country has been developed.

He also said that the ministry has “established sanitation desks in the 36 States’ Ministries of Environment and FCT to monitor and ensure proper environmental sanitation at the community and household levels by conducting routine sanitary inspections of premises, and sensitizing the public on dangers of open defecation and the importance of having access to toilet in residential and public places.

He said clean and secure sanitation facilities are a fundamental human right that remains inaccessible to millions of citizens.

Abbas said flooding and gully erosion reported from Anambra and Enugu State Communities of Alur-uno and Aguata should be looked into with a view to addressing them.

According to him, these natural disasters not only inflict tragic consequences on the lives of citizens but also have far-reaching impacts on various aspects of the society.

“The havoc wrought by flooding and gully erosion extends beyond the tragic loss of human lives, they significantly impact the economic stability of the affected regions.

“Businesses face disruptions, agricultural lands are destroyed, and vital infrastructure suffers damage, leading to substantial financial losses and hindering economic growth,” he added.
