Abstract

This study evaluates the sanitation profile of households in Ogun State Nigeria, with the view to suggesting sustainable sanitation measures to open defecation prevention. Adopting a four-level multi-stage approach, a total of 110, 100, and 120 questionnaires were respectively administered in Ogijo/Likosi, Ilaro I, and Sodeke/Sale‐Ijeun I wards. The selected criteria reflect the variance in the populations of 1,250,435(33%), 1,112,761(30%), and 1,387,944(37%) for Ogun East, Ogun West and Ogun Central, respectively. About 73% of total households own toilets, while the remaining 90 (27%) do not own toilets. The study adopted simple univariate and bivariate tools, most especially Pearson Chi-squared test and Fishers Exact Probability test in analysing key data. The study, among all others, recommends the implementation of initiatives such as awareness raising and the marketing of the reuse potentials of faecal waste as an incentive for toilets construction and sustainable management by households, among others. Keywords: Faecal, Households, Profile, Sanitation, Sustainability, Waste
