“Although hand washing with soap is critical in the fight against infectious diseases, including COVID-19, global only, around 3 in 10 public schools do not have hand washing facilities with water and soap available.

“This move became very essential because we have observed that hand washing is not part of our culture, that is why we are preaching and campaigning that resident of Rivers State and Nigerians should imbibed the culture of hand washing to prevent certain diseases not only covid-19 virus.

“Further long-term investment in water, sanitation and hygiene can help prevent the next health crisis from coming especially in these public schools”, he said.

President of the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt, Mike Ezeanya urges governments to commit to providing hand hygiene, not as a temporary response to the pandemic, but as an investment in public health and economic resilience.
