The Minister noted that about 47 million people practice open defecation with Nigeria occupying number one position in Africa and number two in the world after India. He emphasized that “open defecation is a bad practice and should be stopped”. He urged Nigerians to adopt a behavioural and cultural changes towards hygiene promotion. The changes will go a long way at curbing the menace of open defecation in the country and ultimately stop it before the set target year of 2025.

The Minister along with some Journalists displayed the Clean Nigeria: Use the Toilet Campaign Logo which will be launched by Mr. President.

 Engr. Adamu assured Nigerians that government would do everything to ensure that the practice is stopped. “We are hoping that once the campaign gets into minds of people, our job is done, when the communities begin to see that this is not right, their behaviour will change.”

 He noted that some State Governors have started making legislation against open defecation while appealing to Government at all levels to provide basic facilities to achieve Open Defecation Free Nigeria by 2025.
