A building without a toilet was sealed on Friday, by the Lagos State Waste Water Management Office, in the Agege area of the state.

The Commissioner, Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who made this known on his X handle, said that it aimed to achieve a sustainable environment.

“LSWMO in continued demonstration of its commitment to a sustainable environment, proper sanitation and public health safety in the state has sealed off a residential property on Adedosu Street, Otubu, Agege.

“This was following the receipt of a public complaint from concerned residents.

“The bungalow with over 10 rooms has no toilet facilities but dilapidated pit latrines filled with exposed faecal matter,” he said.

While commending the General Manager, Adefemi Afolabi, who led the compliance team to the property, he said the Lagos State Government could not afford the occurrence of another cholera outbreak.

“Citizens are further advised to embrace proper sanitation and hygiene practices to enhance public health and environmental sustainability,” he said.
