Nigerian Authorities Launch Campaign Against Open Defecation

Timothy Obiezu

   ABUJA - Baba Awolu reports for work at 5 a.m. each day at a local
   toilet and washroom facility he owns in the Jahi district of Abuja. The
   facility, known in the native Hausa language as "Gidan Wanka," was
   built to serve poor people without access to bathrooms.

   Awolu says he has to arrive early so he can attend to users who are
   preparing for the day.
