The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO), on Friday, said it had sealed off a building without a toilet around Agege area of the state.

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

“LSWMO in continued demonstration of its commitment to 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 fecal matter,” he said.

While commending Mr Adefemi Afolabi, the General Manager, 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.
