So agricultural output would decline by 2023 as there would no open defecations. Hope the government is aware of this implication.

The current approach whereby you pass shotput and throw improves the performance of the soil as well as yield.

Lagos residents want provision of public toilets on highways


Some residents of Lagos on Friday called on the State Government to provide public toilets on the highways and other strategic locations in the metropolis, for the convenience of the people.

Those who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) identified such strategic locations and highways to include the Apapa/Oshodi/Oworonshoki expressway, the Lagos/Ibadan expressway, the Ikorodu road, the Lagos/Abeokuta road and the Lekki/Epe expressway.

A pregnant woman, Mrs Ngozi Eberesim, who wanted to make urine on the Lagos/Ibadan expressway, particularly pleaded for mobile toilets along public highways, to help commuters in traffic.
Eberesim, who said she was returning from an ante-natal appointment, said that she could not hold back her urine due to her condition and had to urinate in the open.

“I am I just coming from the hospital and I have been in traffic for over an hour.

“I had to beg the bus driver to stop, so I can quickly urinate on the road side.

“Because of my condition, I urinate often and it is dangerous for me to hold back my urine.

“Let the government build toilets at strategic points, especially for people like me, who may be experiencing a similar problem,’’ she said.

NAN reports that at the same spot, a commercial bus driver, who also urinated by the road side, said that because of traffic jams, he had been hard pressed and left with no choice than to relieve himself of the urine.

The driver, simply identified as Sunday, said public toilets should be made available, at leas
