The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to the monthly environmental sanitation exercise, declaring that the initiative is now a permanent feature of the state’s urban management strategy as it seeks to build a cleaner, healthier and more economically competitive city.
Officials say the exercise, reintroduced after nearly a decade, is designed not only to improve public hygiene but also to foster a culture of environmental responsibility among residents and businesses.
The position was reiterated during the second edition of the sanitation exercise held simultaneously across the state on Saturday.
Leading the exercise in Alimosho Local Government Area was Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu,
the wife of the state governor, accompanied by Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources; Rotimi Akodu, the Special Adviser to the governor on Environment; members of the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO), and other senior government officials.
