Until her appointment, Princess Adebowale was the Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Civic Engagement and previously served as a local government chairperson with experience as a risk assessor and financial manager.
Recently, she sensitized Lagos residents on the hazards of Open Defecation programme at the Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking at the programme, she educated the residents on the health hazards that comes with this practice.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, open defecation is a public menace because it could easily lead to outbreak of communicable diseases such as cholera, typhoid, diarrhoea and other gastro-intestinal infections.
“During the rainy season, in which we are now, water supplies can become contaminated with such faecal matters; we all know that human faeces contain bacteria and germs which consequently contaminate the sources of water people use for drinking and many other purposes.
