“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.
