He added that as of October 2024, 135 LGAs nationwide have attained ODF status; and urged for accelerated investment and action to achieve the 2025 target. Prof.Utsev commended the efforts of His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, Executive Governor of Ogun State, for his unwavering commitment to improving the welfare of Ogun State residents.
