Kwara State Government in collaboration with the Water Supply and Sanitation Agency, RUWASSA, has reaffirmed commitment to creating an Open Defecation-Free State.
In a statement signed by the Press Secretary of RUWASSA, Olaide Afolabi, the Commissioner for Water Resources, Usman Lade, seeks collaborative efforts in achieving the goals, particularly in the Ilorin South Local Government Area of the State.
The statement stresses the need to address detrimental impact of open defecation on the health of Kwarans and applauded the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for prioritizing sanitation initiatives targeted at protecting Kwarans.
RUWASSA’s efforts in coordinating community-led sanitation programmes have already resulted in six communities in Oke Ero Local Government Area achieving the ODF status.
It calls for support from various leaders, including stakeholders such as religious, market, and community leaders, Ilorin South Local Government Chairman, and Mr. Abdulmajeed Podo pledging to collaborate with the government towards a cleaner and healthier Kwara.
