Kano Task Force Committee on Sanitation has given two weeks to the state Road Traffic Agency (KAROTA) and Kano College of Health Science and Technology, to upgrade their public toilets or face sanctions.
The Director of Administration and General Services of the Ministry of Environment, Mr Adamu Faragai gave the deadline on Friday in Kano while inspecting the environmental sanitation of workplaces, motor parks and markets in Kano.
Faragai, who represented the Chairman of the Committee, Dr Kabiru Getso, said that the sanitary condition of toilets in the two organisations was appalling.
He therefore gave the authorities of the two organisations two weeks within which to improve the sanitary conditions of the toilet facilities.
The director, however, said that the commitee was impressed with the general hygiene of the two premises, as well as Nassarawa Local Government secretariat, which was part of the places monitored on Friday.
“The committee is not just after the sanitation condition of premises but also public conveniences of such places,” Faragai stressed.
He tasked all government and public premises to ensure good environmental hygiene at all times to avoid sanction.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr Muhammed Burum-Burum and Mr Shehu Abdu, the representatives of the two organisations pledged to take appropriate action to improve the toilet facilities.(NAN)
