The lawmaker said the donation of the Sato pans toilets was a support from his partner’s Indorama fertilizer company to my constituency.

“Indorama donated 1,000 Sato pans to me as a support for onward distribution to the vulnerable households in my federal constituency, Bauchi.

“The entire people of my constituency appreciate Indorama fertilizer company for the gesture.

Also, Sabo Adamu, General Manager State Rural Water Sanitation and Supply (RUWASSA), explained that Sato pans are a water-saving product, with less time fetching water and keeping up with sanitation and hygiene in water-stressed locations. 

“It saves 80 per cent water compared to conventional flush toilets, blocks smell and flies, and also increases safety for children from falling into pit latrines.”

The General Manager lauded the effort of the lawmaker to end open defecation in his constituency and the entire state.
