To avert the trends, Sabo said such efforts should include empowering a task force team to arrest anyone caught defecating in the open if the government is serious to end open defecation or attain Open Defecation Free status.“It is not uncommon to see people getting from water-related ailment such as diarrhoea, anyone caught defecating in the open should be arrested and prosecuted,” he said.
“It is even better here. The last time I was in Osun state open defecation seemed to be a norm in that state. I don’t know maybe it is a tradition to build a house without toilets. Adamu said it has become imperative to restrategise and ensure the approach is reinvigorated in order to address some of the challenges identified including funding gaps as a way to change the narrative.
However, data from the WASH National Outcome Routine Mapping , World Health Organisation/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation, while stressing why it matters to end open defecation, said based on empirical study, every naira invested in the water and sanitation sector results in economic benefit ranging from N1,080 to N12,240 .
“Frequent episodes of WASH-related diseases cause absence from school or work, as affected people take time off to heal, and some to take care of a sick relative also leads to low productivity,” the report said.
