dc.description.abstractThe study examined health education students’ perceived factors contributing to poor environmental sanitation in Ilorin South Local Government Area. Sanitation is the provision of facilities and services for the safe disposal of human urine and faeces, it can also be seen as the maintenance of hygienic conditions through services such as garbage collection and wastewater disposal. The state of the environment in some parts of Ilorin is worrisome as a result of poorly disposed garbage. This negative feature is worse in the raining season whereby after rainstorm, garbage, domestic waste and different forms of waste are seen lying on the road. It is based on this that the study therefore attempted an investigation into the factors contributing to poor environmental sanitation as perceived by Health Education Students in Ilorin South Local Government Area. The findings revealed that lack of environmental education, poor attitudes of residents and inconsistency in the provision of waste management services are some of the factors contribution to poor environmental sanitation. It was therefore recommended that health educators should endeavor to educate the residents on the importance of environmental sanitation and the adoption of the proper methods of disposing domestic waste.en_US
