As part of our sustained efforts to eliminate open defecation and improve public sanitation across Lagos State, we currently have 1,710 functioning public toilets strategically located across the state for residents and visitors.

However, government cannot do this alone. We are encouraging businesses such as filling stations, banks, eateries, and other public-facing facilities to make their restrooms accessible to the public where possible. This collaborative approach will significantly complement government efforts and expand access to sanitation facilities across the state.

At the same time, we continue to enforce environmental sanitation laws. Individuals caught engaging in open defecation are being arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law. These measures are necessary to protect public health, preserve dignity, and maintain a cleaner environment for all.

Access to sanitation is a shared responsibility. While government continues to expand infrastructure, residents and businesses must also play their part in ensuring Lagos remains clean, safe, and habitable.

No banks or eateries will allow Lagos agberos to start invading their business premises to poo and pee.

If the government wants business owners to open up their business for agberos to poo and pee, they should open the Government House for the same purpose first.

Banks have customer toilets? Had no idea and never thought of it before.

Always looking for how to shift responsibility...


As if they would give any incentives to pay cleaners or to pack the bank's soak away every 3 days.

We have useless governments that we benefit absolutely nothing from.

What is the use of government when people provide every single amenity and security they require - to loot?

South Africa banks don't have toilets for customers...?

Hehe

And when the soak away is full,will the same public help the banks and eateries in the disposition of it?

It seems these people have ran out of ideas on how to govern us,cuz what's this ?

Open defecation ❌
Bank defecation ✅

No no no. I humbly disagree.

Sanwo olu is obviously mad

Are leaders in Nigeria caused ?

Na wa for ds country oooo

Emilokan should give tax refund to private companies over their inefficiency

What a usełess comment from government! Who will be paying their rent, cleaning and maintenance..

After collecting tax from them?

Will you cover sewage evacuation costs?

Another glaring failure of government to provide basic infrastructure such as public toilets to the people.

To provide
-healthcare, people use private because public health care is not adequate to take care of people

-electricity, people provide their own generators because light is not 24/7, is epileptic and the fees are banditry across Bands A to Z

-roads, people spend hours in traffic, pour sand on the road because governrmes don't maintain roads, don't even build and give us signs, pedestrian walkways, covered manholes, or covered drainages

-potable water, people buy pure water or dig bore hole but the government wants to tax them despite not supplying water to people

-infrastructure, people create their own luxury or japa

-education, people go to private schools, go abroad while public schools are behind

-social welfare?

You are not doing your work as government but you are so shameless, you have the effrontery to challenge them to do your work. What is wrong with our people? Don't let these guys get away with this nonsense! In some countries you japa to, the government opens spaces or libraries for people to stay in when it is cold. They have bathrooms or at least toilets with water there. Common!

Nope! It's the first time I hear of such. And there aren't even signs for staff toilets - I guess they're at the back.

No kill me now with your comment

Vseless people at the corridor of power...

What a laziest and unproductive clowns we have as a government. Bank and eateries should exposed there premise to criminals and fraudster to come and use the restroom abi?

I doubt if there's any big business that doesn't have toilet for customers, just ask they'll direct you. It's very neat

True, but the government needs to do more. 1,710 toilets is not enough for over 20 million people, that's a joke. Another bad joke is the maintenance. If you go to international airports, you'll understand what maintenance is. Public toilets don't have to be disease traps and smelling like hell.

Soon they will start charging open defecation charges per transaction more than 1k

Lagos na real MEGA SHITTY.

See some wer.e.y foaming in the mouth up there just because of their hatred for Lagos State and her administrators.

So who will now be taking care of the toilets?

Omorr, D mata tire me 😂😅🤣

Your last sentence is quite intelligent.

The simplest thing for them to do is build toilets and employ cleaners .

Even if it means paying 50 Naira to use them

Lagos State government, is this an advice or an enforcement? Maintenance costs of those toilets opened to the general public will go higher. Will the State government consider some tax waivers to the companies willing to lend their toilets to public use?
