Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Nigeria are primarily responsible for provision of sanitation facilities in public places. Most markets and motor parks however are either without any sanitation facilities or are in dilapidated conditions because of misuse and neglect. This leads to rampant open defecation (OD) in public places. This has deprived many LGAs to attain the ODF status where otherwise every household have constructed some sort of toilets as a result of ongoing CLTS campaign. Under Federal Government of Nigeria-UNICEF WASH programme, efforts have been made to address the challenge through public- private partnership (PPP) arrangements. In selected LGAs of 3 States one hundred (100) WASH facilities are planned for completion in 2018 in markets/motor parks to bring the LGA wide ODF declaration one step closer to reality.
