Members of the Junior Chambers International (JCI) of the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS), on Sunday, embarked on environmental sanitation programme tagged: ‘Water Preservation, Healthy Living and Toilet Management.’
The Dean of Students’ Affairs, Dr Adamu Aliero, flagged off the exercise to sanitise the campus, before the club members then distributed buckets and hand washers to toilets in various hostels on the campus.
In his remark, Dr Aliero said, “Water is very important to mankind, and so should be conserved. We ought to make judicious use of it, as water should not be wasted. Also we need to avoid water contamination, as this poses a lot of health challenges. Cleanliness, they say is next to Godliness,” he said.
He also gave kudos to the JCI members for embarking on the programme.
The Students’ Union president of the institution, Al-Amin Musa, also appreciated the club members for their effort, while also advising the other students to utilise the materials given to them judiciously.
