“I will like to say that there is going to be an Executive Order by Mr President that all federal agencies must key into sanitation.
“All institutions must have proper toilets facilities and at the state levels, we are trying to get all state governors to also meet the requirements.
“This will ensure that commercial buildings open up toilets facilities; this includes working with the private sector to achieve this very goal.
“Also our problem is, we need to get the National Assembly to be involved to ensure that they give particular attention to sanitation budgets as they are not really interested in it,” he said.
