Mallam Sani Abubakar the head of sanitary Department in the school during an interview review that the polytechnic are taking massive steps to control dirt and lack of sanitation in the school evironment.
He added that the school has employ enough sanitary health staff in the campus, ranging from enough school cleaners,gardeners and security that will help regulate neatness among students and staffs.
Also it has been written to the school management to make provision of equipment and other materials, such as broom,nose-masks, water,soaps and other toiletaries in large quantities in other to be available for both students and staffs.
He further added that enough toilet rooms should be erected in each department for easy access and dirt free-environment.
While speaking with our correspondent he announces his displeasure over how the students litters the ground with debris,containers of used drinks and how the students carelessly misuse the toilet despite the provision of water and toilet necessities.
He talks about how students refuse to flush the toilets after using them, He then said that students who fails to maintain toilet sanity,class room orderliness and untreated health cases will be officially reprimanded.
Mallam Sani therefore advices the students to regard the toilets as the ones in their home and keep it clean after use. He implore the students to dispose their waste in the danobins provided for them in other to make the school environment clean.
Furthermore ,the chief Medical Director of the polytechnic Dr Danladi Idi , has advised Students to leave in a clean environment as that is the only way they can be disease free.
He also used the medium to enlighten them on the ways to prevent the out break of cholera and other dangerous diseases. The Medical Director also complained about the bad conditions of the toilet and called on Student to improve on the way they use the toilets by ensuring it is well flushed after use. It is paramount to note that sanitation is a term that connotes the provision of facilities and services for the safe disposal of human urine and feces. Sanitation differs from hygiene in that it provides the means for people to be hygienic. Sanitation is important for all, helping to maintain health and increase life spans.
Sanitation can equally mean the promotion of hygiene and prevention of disease by means of the maintenance of sanitary conditions (as by the removal of sewage and trash)—often used attributively to a sanitation truck by sanitation workers.
The campus, or more accurately, the institution, has its fair share of sanitation conditions that impede the free and beneficial inhabitions of students on campus, despite the school administration's efforts to cater to the large number of students on campus, for example.
The waste disposal system of the institution has in some instances been compromised to the point that littered paper is found everywhere due to a lack of danobins or trash cans for easy disposal of waste around the institution.
In addition to this, the institution, in spite of its reputation amongst the community of institutions in the country, has challenges in providing enough toilets and other facilities that would cater to the large number of students on the campus, thereby causing lots of environmental hazards to the students and the immediate institution's community.
