About eight years after Lagos State government cancelled the monthly environmental sanitation, the state government has concluded arrangement to reintroduce the monthly exercise, which many watchers believe may be connected to the surge of cholera cases in the state.
It was, however, not clear whether the re-introduced environmental sanitation, which would be symbolically launched on Saturday, July 13, at Lagos Island, according to a state government document sighted by The Guardian, would take the format of the cancelled monthly sanitation.
But in announcing the cancellation then, the Lagos State government said the decision to cancel the exercise followed a resolution arrived at its Executive Council meeting, which approved the need for a robust review of the environmental laws and procedures in the state in order to meet the present day challenges and to promote a clean and healthy environment.
According to government, in the last two decades, Lagos has grown exponentially into a mega-city with the attendant huge environmental problems associated with managing a population of over twenty million people.
