Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, on Friday
issued a two-month ultimatum to landlords
whose houses are without toilets in any part
of the state to make amends or be
prosecuted.
Fayose declared this while featuring on his
monthly Radio and Television programme
tagged ‘meet your governor’ in Ado-Ekiti, that
landlords must provide toilets in their houses
before the end of February 2015.
He warned that at the expiration of the
ultimatum, landlords that failed to provide
toilets in their houses would face
prosecution.
The governor said same penalty awaited
tenants who knowingly or unknowingly rented
such houses with no toilet facilities.
“If by the end of February 2015, we still have
landlords who built or live in houses without
toilet facilities, such landlords will be
apprehended and be made to face
prosecution under the state’s environmental
law.
“I also want to add that tenants who rented
such houses stand the risk of facing similar
penalty with their landlords,” he said.
The governor condemned the way and manner
some residents of the state, especially those
in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, still engaged in
poor attitudes such as open defecation and
indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
He promised that his government would
provide basic amenities to ensure good
health and clean environment.
He disclosed that his government had
mapped out strategies aimed at providing
quality water and other social amenities
under the 2015 budget, which he warned may
be sabotaged if people refused to imbibe
principles of hygiene and discipline.
He also called for more support from the
people to be able to deliver all the
electioneering promises that he made during
the campaign.
