Kehinde highlighted the current administration’s unwavering commitment to eliminating open defecation, stressing that collaboration with the private sector, community leaders, and Community Development Associations (CDAs) is essential to raising awareness and educating citizens on the dangers associated with the practice.
“Public awareness campaigns are the first step in eliminating this menace,” Kehinde stated. He added that the government has already taken significant measures by constructing public toilets and sanitation facilities across the state, encouraging residents to take ownership of these amenities.

In a bid to bolster these efforts, Kehinde revealed that the Ogun State Government has partnered with the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency to launch a joint campaign targeting open defecation along the Lagos/Ibadan expressway corridor. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to address the issue comprehensively.
Kehinde emphasized that tackling open defecation is critical not only for reducing the spread of diseases but also for promoting economic growth and enhancing the overall quality of life for Ogun State citizens.
