The association’s Secretary, Malam Muhammad Dodo, said at an environmental sanitation sensitisation exercise in Malammadori that the toilets were constructed at Malammadori and Garun-Gabas markets to check open defecation.
He said the association had also provided 10 hand pumps and two over tanks to various communities to enhance access to safe drinking water.
