They are expected to check the toilet conditions, evidence of open defecation and source of water supply as well as conditions of all the houses visited, hygiene practice facility available, refuse disposal and the number of persons sensitised during the visit, among others.

A statement made available to journalists in Bauchi by the SA Media to BASEPA Director General, Isyaka Laminu Badamasi, informed that while addressing the gathering of residents of the areas before the commencement of the exercise, the Desk Officer, Inspection, Sanitarian, Haruna Suleiman, informed that the exercise was one of many measures designed by the Agency to mitigate against the outbreak of diseases in the state.

The selection of Rariya as the pilot community, according to Suleiman, was due to the fact that it was one of the hotspots of cholera outbreak in Bauchi State.
