 SANWO-OLU HAILS LAGOSIANS ON SANITATION DAY

From Ikorodu to Badagry, Lagos Island and Lagos Mainland ; Alimoso to Ikeja and Agege, the turnout was impressive. 


Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu would like to put on record the enthusiasm of residents who woke up early to obey the call for a return to a culture that made our state a healthy and clean place for all. 


“I thank Lagosians who joined the call to clean up our environment as a sure step to good health,”Mr Sanwo-Olu said.  


“That is patriotic; it is the Spirit of Lagos that we often speak about. We should continue to walk that path,” he added.


The governor urged residents to stop indiscriminate dumping of refuse, especially now that the rains are coming. 


The government has embarked on a massive cleanup of gutters and drainage systems around the state to prevent flooding, following the weatherman’s forecast of heavy rains this year.

 

The Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources has joined hands with the Ministry of Information and Strategy to launch a massive campaign against indiscriminate refuse dumping and blocking of drainage systems.
