The Plateau State Government is implementing a crackdown on houses in Jos South Local Government Area without functional toilet facilities. The enforcement action is led by the Plateau Environmental Protection and Sanitation Agency (PEPSA), which has been working closely with communities through various initiatives. PEPSA has engaged with residents, educated them on the importance of proper toilet facilities, and supported vulnerable households in constructing or upgrading needed sanitation infrastructure.
Despite these efforts, some households remain without functional toilets. The agency has now issued final abatement notices to these households, granting them seven days to rectify the situation or face prosecution. After the notice period, prosecution will commence against non-compliant households in line with the law. PEPSA urges affected households to take immediate action within the remaining compliance window.
