Nima is a community where majority of the population don’t have toilet facilities in their homes.
Government started the construction of the 48-seater facility in 2010 for the residents of Goliliet, but the project stalled in 2012 when the contractor ran out of funds. The ground floor and upper floor of the storey building have both been constructed and roofed, with the necessary segmentation into various compartments done. A wall has been built around the structure. What is left is for the water closets to be fixed, and for the plastering of the building to be done. A resident, Paul Yamoah told Joy News they would want the AMA to quickly resume and complete work on the project as a measure to discourage open defecation, which is increasing the spate of diseases like cholera in the area. When contacted, Assembly Member for Nima West, Umar Sanda Mohammed said there are several on-going projects competing for attention, hence the difficulty in securing funding for the completion of the toilet facility. “We are not the only electoral area. What I want to have from AMA in my community, I am not getting all,” he told Joy news. |
