The study adopted the convenience sampling technique to sample 130 users. Analysis was conducted with the aid of a statistical package for social sciences and the data are presented with the aid of frequency tables, graphs and charts.

Although the privacy of users is guaranteed in the public toilets, they expressed strong dissatisfaction with these facilities as a result of dirtiness, bad odour nuisance from files and poor maintenance of the facilities. Proximity and lack of alternatives are the main reasons for using these toilets. The users express the willingness, readiness and ability to pay an average of N40 to use improved toilets in the study area.
