The Lagos State Government is set to reintroduce the monthly
environmental sanitation exercise.
It is part of the strategy to promote a cleaner, safer, and
flood-free Lagos.
This was disclosed by the Commissioner for the Environment
and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab.
Wahab was speaking on Sunday during an inspection tour of
Idi-Araba, Orile Iganmu, and Alaba Rago in Ojo Local Government Area.
According to Wahab, the return of the monthly exercise is
currently under consideration at the State Executive Council level.
“Lagos is strongly considering reintroducing the monthly
environmental sanitation exercise. Once approved by EXCO, the governor will
officially announce the re-launch. It’s long overdue,” he said.
The monthly environmental sanitation was previously
conducted on the last Saturday of every month from 7 am to 10 am, but was
suspended in November 2016.
However, worsening waste management issues, including
clogged drainage systems and indiscriminate dumping, have prompted calls for
its return.
