DMT MOBILE AND PORTABLE TOILETS was conceived in 1992 when a young man, ISAAC DUROJAIYE a.k.a OTUNBA GADAFFI(SAN) mooted the idea of providing mobile toilets to serve outdoor events but this idea did not come into reality until 1996 when the first WAGON TOILET was manufactured locally. But in 1999 the company complemented its locally produced wagon toilets with about 30 plastic portable toilets imported from the UK. However, to fulfill a burning desire to localize production of the plastic toilets, the company acquired necessary technology, to start manufacturing high quality plastic mobile toilets in Nigeria in the year 2002. DMT MOBILE AND PORTABLE TOILETS are the pioneer mobile toilet company in Nigeria and at present the only manufacturer in the West African sub-region.
