“A big thanks for the facility donated by the David Alaba Foundation at Kara Market, Ogere Remo, Ogun State to support FGN’s move to end open defecation. David is also planning a football training centre in Nigeria,” she tweeted.

The David Alaba Foundation collaborated with Organised Private Sector in Water Sanitation and Hygiene (OPS-WASH), Clean Nigeria Campaign (CNC) and NIDCOM to deliver the toilet facility, which reportedly cost more than N13,000.
