Abuja Garden Eatries.

Scattered all around the city and its districts, are the gardens that dot the city's landscapes, and situated within most of these gardens are Fast Food Joints, Bukas, Suya Spots, Beer and Pepper-soup hangouts, local restaurants that serve indigenous specialities amongst others.

         A cursory look around most of the gardens, reveals a lack of toilet facilities, portable and otherwise. Then one wanders where the customers are expected to relieve themselves when nature calls. Including the cooks and stewards who handle the preparation and service of the food .

         In some cases you see them squatting some distance from the eateries relieving themselves. I believe there should be an agency of the F.C.T, whose duty it should be to monitor and regulate the activities of these eatries.

          Anywhere that food is being sold , there should be a law that stipulates that there must be functional toilet facilities for customers and staff. Whether this law exists in the F.C.T, and other cities around the country remains to be seen.
