The monthly environmental sanitation will hold tomorrow in Lagos State between 7am and 10am. There will be restriction of movement during the exercise, the government said yesterday.
Ministry of Environment Permanent Secretary Hakeem Ogunbambi, an engineer, urged Lagosians to tidy their surroundings including drain and canals.
He said the cleaning and maintenance of drainage channels were part of government’s strategy to reduce flood.
Ogunbambi advised Lagosians to desist from indiscriminate dumping of refuse on drainage channels , adding that they should not also compromise drainage alignment, such as building and erection of structures on drainage setbacks, among others.
A statement quoted him as saying:”It is important to have a clean and hygienic environment to prevent germs and diseases to encourage investment opportunities.
“Residents should desist from patronising cart pushers and other acts which violate the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) policy.
He assured residents that law enforcement agencies including the Police, LAWMA, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) officials have been mobilised to enforce the sanitation Laws.
