November 19, 2022 10:02 AMTo achieve sustainable development goals, hygiene and sanitation issues need to be given top priority by every state and national leader. It is important to ensure that all Nigerians have access to good toilets to enhance good hygiene and sanitation which are critical to the attainment of sustainable development goals.
