Speaking on behalf of the brand, Emmanuel Inyang – Assistant Brand manager, Hypo Toilet Cleaner stated that the essence of Project – “Hypo Toilet Rescue” is a long drive to conquer the challenge of open defecation and the use of unsafe toilets in Nigeria. He added that Hypo Homecare Products Ltd. is resolute to crash the number of fatalities likely to occur resulting from open defecation/ unhygienic toilet use.
The Hypo Toilet Cleaner Toilet Rescue initiative kicked off in 2021, in Lagos and has continued to expand astronomically over the past two years into other cities in Nigeria. The project was conceived to address the practice of open defecation in Nigeria while educating Nigerians about its adverse impact on the environment and the inhabitants.
Toilet Cleaner reckoned that Open defecation if not addressed especially in schools could lead to various health challenges can negatively impact children’s learning ability thereby posing avoidable problems to the environment, at this point, focus will be diverted from education to struggles for survival.
Thus, to aid the efforts by the federal government to eradicate this menace from Nigeria, Hypo created this Initiative and with the outsourcing of corp members, they have been providing a solution to the long-standing problem, with the Hypo Toilet Rescue Volunteer Program.
Hypo Toilet Cleaner’s partnership with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) since 2022, has since been progressive as corp members continue to expose dilapidated structures, while Hypo provides the necessary level of support for renovation or restructuring.
Thousands of lives have since been impacted, especially young minds and indirect contribution to academic excellence through provision of facilities.
“We are most grateful that we hoped, and Hypo Toilet Cleaner finally showed up to provide respite to our needs. Considering I have got many students to care for, these 24 units toilets are billed to cater to over 2,000 students daily” said Mr. Adeniji A. Oduntan- The school principal.
He therefore extolled the brand for the complete transformation of their facilities, fixing of the floor/wall tiles, lighting, water supply network, carpentry, wash hand basins & water closets supplies, cleaning accessory needs supply etc. Mr. Oduntan implored the students to maintain / judiciously use the newly installed units while showering prayers on the Hypo Toilet Cleaner.
