RUWASSA Moves To End Open Defecation

The General Manager of the Rivers State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASSA), Mr Napoleon Adah says, efforts are on, by the state government to key into the Federal Government action plan to end open defecation. Adah, who said this in a message made available to The Tide in Port Harcourt, said that the present administration is committed to ending open defecation in the state.
He said that the agency is carrying out sensitisation programme in the 23 local government areas with a view to ending open defecation in the state.
He urged the people to key into the programme as it is for the good of the society.
“I want to urge our people to imbibe the culture of keeping their environments clean, more especially, they should use the toilet to avert cholera and other diseases associated with open defecation. All hands must be on deck to achieve it from the community to the national level,” he said.
