I am sure our brothers came to this thread with the aim of pouncing on Ambode, Buhari and APC in general but by the time they realize it's their food prepared by them in their dirty environments, they'd pipe low.

Does the government have no role in educating and sensitising people on sanitation and hygiene?
Why do we find it so hard to hold our government responsible

Direct result of the neglect by the state government of tap water provision and absence of Sanitary Inspectors.
Drinking borehole water that is contaminated with soak away shit can only lead to cholera epidemic.

Thanks.
When there is tap water flowing then the chance of improper hygiene for preparing food is reduced.
It is sad and pathetic that over 17 years of progreTHIEF administration by Tinubu/Fashola/Ambode, many areas of Lagos do not have tap water supply.


Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

You needed to watch where these people were living and defecating yesterday on TVC, then you'd wonder why these 'developed' people who own 90% of property in Lagos have to leave their developed enclaves to come and live in such demeaning environment in our 'underdeveloped' lands.

What an irony.
u and tribal comments ... U must be an illiterate n a dimwit
