The Oyo State government has rolled out some guidelines to ensure that food handlers in public schools follow strict hygiene practices to prevent contamination.
Two Non-Govermental Organisations (NGO), namely: Tabitha Cumi Foundation (TCF) and Self Help Africa, on Friday sensitised students from 20 FCT schools on the importance of handwashing practices.
According to UNICEF nine out of 10 schools in Nigeria have no handwashing facilities for students. This, according to the UN agency, does not augur well for the fight against infectious diseases.
