Describing the initiative as part of the “Renewed Hope” agenda, Abiola wrote:

“The first toilet in Nagohom Community, Mazah Ward, Plateau State is nearing completion. It is located within the school compound.

Once finished:

• Our girls will have a place to change their sanitary pads.
• They won’t have to miss classes during their menstrual cycle.
• I am contributing to ending open defecation in Nigeria.
• I am contributing to the development of the Nagohom community.

The renewed hope is here.”

The post has generated discussions, with many praising the effort to improve menstrual hygiene management and reduce open defecation in the area.
