WaterAid Nigeria, a Non-Governmental Organisation has said that more than 120 million Nigerians\u00a0lack access to decent toilets in their homes.<\/p>\n

The organisation said on its website on Monday that ensuring everyone, everywhere had access to potable water and a decent toilet by 2030 was crucial for actualising the Sustainable Development Goal six.<\/p>\n

It said that Nigeria had made solid progress in reaching people with water, as seven in 10 people now had potable water to drink.<\/p>\n

According to the organisation, with fewer than three in 10 people having a decent toilet, Nigeria has a big task ahead of it to install the right sanitation systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working with the government as it renews its efforts to reach the people who are most in need of these essential services.<\/p>\n

\u201c59 million people don\u2019t have clean water, that is one in every three people.<\/p>\n

\u201c123 million people don\u2019t have a decent toilet, that is seven in 10 people, who are more likely to be ill, more often.<\/p>

\u201c59,500 children under five die a year, due to poor water and sanitation,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

WaterAid said that it was simply not right that 62 million children in Nigeria do not have access to a decent toilet at home.<\/p>\n

It said that 52 per cent of schools do not have basic sanitation; hence, children were being dangerously exposed to illness that could kill them.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0News Agency of Nigeria<\/em>\u00a0reports that the United Nations marks the World Toilet Day on November 19, to draw attention on sanitation crisis.<\/p>\n
