Nigeria Ranks 3rd In Open Defecation – UNICEF by information1: 9:12pm On Nov 23, 2017
Defecating in public got so many disorder even, the United Nations Children Funds (UNICEF) says Nigeria is ranked third among the countries of the world where people still practice open defecation.

Mr Zaid Jurji, the UNICEF Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in Nigeria, declared this on Wednesday in Katsina when he paid courtesy visit to Gov. Aminu Masari.“The situation of sanitation in Nigeria is alarming. Nigeria is third worldwide when it comes to open defecation, one-third of the population practise it.“Nigeria is a heavy weight country, not only in Africa, but worldwide.

“It does not go well to know that open defecation is being practiced widely in various communities in a strong country like Nigeria.
“So, we need to do something about that beyond the traditional approach to improve on the situation,’’ he said.“We believe that Nigerians listen to their leaders, and may be a couple of statements from you, on many occasions as appropriate, will start making a difference.“Our role to is see that happening, but changing people’s attitudes by making them to know that open defecation is something Nigerians cannot stand anymore,’’ he said.

Jurji said that eradicating open defecation would also assist to improve sanitation, being one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

So, he stressed the need for every household to ensure installation of a standard pit latrine.
