Sanwo-Olu inaugurates monthly environmental sanitation, seeks residents cooperation

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday inaugurated the reintroduction of the monthly environmental sanitation in the state.

The monthly environmental sanitation, previously a key practice in Lagos, aimed to promote a clean and healthy environment, encourage community participation in waste management, and reduce the risk of disease outbreaks.

Speaking at the launch held at Campus Square, Lagos Island on Sunday, Sanwo-Olu urged residents and stakeholders to cooperate in making the exercise a success.

The monthly sanitation was discontinued in 2016. At that time, the then Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, announced the cancellation following a resolution adopted at the State Executive Council meeting.

“Lagos has grown exponentially, with the attendant environmental problems associated with managing 20 million people.

“The environmental laws and procedures being practised in the state have not been able to match the growth and the dream of a 24-hour economy,” Ayorinde had said.
