CHAPTER
ONE
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Sanitation
is the keeping of the environment clean. It can be at home, in the school in
the place of work or in the market. Sanitation according to the oxford advance
dictionary (2007) define sanitation as the equipment and system that keep
places clean, especially by removing human waste: disease resulting from poor
sanitation.
Laoye (1976) the importance of sanitation to any community or schools can not
be over emphasized. It is away of controlling disease and disposal of refuse I
the proper way. From the early time, man has made attempt to environment, but
himself has also made the environment a greater threat to his health and life.
Government and individual on their own have tried to improve the environmental
sanitation, but this has given them a lot of problem to content with.
Infact, the cities are filled up with filthy materials while the rubbish and
garbage in the dustbin are not cleared on time. This makes the environment so
dirty that people who find themselves living in those areas caught in a web.
There are poor storage facilities, inefficient collection and removal from our
homes and schools to the depot e.t.c. this has resulted in various health
hazards such as air pollution, water pollution and land pollution.
The sanitary condition of environment has become an issue of serious concern to
Nigerians, especially with migration of people from rural to urban centre. The
problem of environmental sanitation is essentially that of the individuals or
family but without the government interference, there is bond to be indiscriminate
dumping of refuse in our street, roads and open spaces.
Environmental sanitation (health) has been defined by the world health
organization (1973), as the control of all factors in man’s physical
development, “health and man” physical development health surreal.
So foluwa (1976) in his contribution to the problem of environmental
sanitation, view it as it applies to the environment. He contends that research
as revealed that health education seeks to enlighten the maintenance of health.
He stressed further that the task force on environmental sanitation should be
directed to all categories of people in the rural and urban centre. That is the
labourers, market women as well as the professionals.
James (1978), advocated for the right attitude towards health practice. The
situation in the school he emphasized should have adequate classrooms, spacious
enough to accommodate a good number of students. Health hazard in the
environment may constitute fatigue and strains which are against good health. A
classical example is uwelu secondary schools were there is poor waste
collection, inadequate water supply, poor citing of sewage disposal. This can
affect the student psychological. It against this background, that the
researcher felt the need to investigate the causes of poor sanitary condition
in secondary schools, so as to find a lasting solution to those problems.
STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEMS
The causes of poor sanitary condition has been a major problem in some selected
secondary schools in Egor local government area in Edo state. And this include
irregular payment of salary to the cleaner, when the toilet is not wash
regularly, inadequate refuse disposal and when the bush are not cleared.
Firstly irregular payment of salary to the cleaner is one of the major problem
whereby the person in change of the cleaning are not payed, he or she can lead
to poor sanitary condition where by the environment become filthy.
Secondly. When the toilet is not wash regularly it can also lead to poor
sanitary condition whereby the toilet is not washed daily and flies will be
patching on it and this can lead to toilet infection.
Thirdly, inadequate refuse disposal is one of the major problem where by the
school do not provide dustbin for refuse dump. It can also lead to poor
sanitary condition.
Fourthly when the bushes are not cleared on time it can also lead to poor
sanitary condition whereby the bush can attract snake to the school premises.
This has lead to the study of the causes and effect and possible solution to
poor sanitary condition problems in Egor local government area of Edo state.
