Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, has approved the reintroduction of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise.
“Our governor and the state executive council have approved the reintroduction of the monthly sanitation exercise in Lagos state, beginning from this month,” Wahab said in Yoruba.There have been renewed calls for the Lagos government to reintroduce the exercise, as clogged drainage channels and roads littered with refuse, exacerbate the flood challenge in a densely populated city.Steve Ayorinde, then commissioner of information, had said the decision was taken at the executive council meeting.
Ayorinde said considering the status of Lagos as a megacity, it was no longer appropriate to restrict movement for three hours. The commissioner added that the government approved the cancellation 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”.Click on the link below to join TheCable Channel on WhatsApp for your Breaking News, Business Analysis, Politics, Fact Check, Sports and Entertainment News.Budget office: FG spent N5.
