The
Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare, on Thursday
said that the monthly environmental sanitation would hold on April 30.This is
contained in a statement signed by the Ministry’s Director of Public Affairs
and Research in Lagos.He said the exercise had not been cancelled and the
restriction on vehicular movement would be enforced from 7a.m. to 10 a.m.
”I expect residents to come out in large numbers and
participate actively in the exercise by cleaning their homes, gutters, drains
as well as their frontages.The period of the sanitation is not meant for any
social and sporting engagements but for serious cleaning of the
environment.Inter-State transport operators and workers should also comply with
the order.Anyone caught violating the order, whether passengers or drivers,
will be apprehended and prosecuted according to the State Environmental
Sanitation Law of 2012,” he said.
Adejare said that the restriction order was to ensure a
total compliance and full involvement of Lagosians in the exercise.
