Sanitation economy: Nigeria to gain $ 15m, employments, others, says UN

AUNITED Nations Executive Director of the Sanitation and Hygiene Fund ( SHF), Dominic O’neill, has stressed the benefits of developing Nigeria’s sanitation economy to include immediate gains of $ 15 million and unemployment reduction and affordable service to the poor.

O’neill disclosed this on Saturday evening at the sidelines of activities to mark World Toilet Day, in Abuja.

According to him, figures from the Toilet Board Coalition ( TBC) shows that the sanitation economy is untapped, and that if developed, the benefits would not be enormous to the growth of Nigeria’s economy.
