Starting from April 25 Lagos State residents will return to the last Saturday of the month environmental sanitation exercise after almost 10 years.
Lagos State commissioner for environment and water resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the sanitation exercise which was abandoned during the reign of Akinwumi Ambode is back on the calendar.
“I am pleased to inform all Lagosians that the monthly environmental sanitation exercise will resume effective Saturday, April 25 2026, holding on the last Saturday of every month from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
“During this period, residents are enjoined to clean their surroundings, clear drainage channels in their frontages, and dispose of waste properly as a civic responsibility.”
He said the exercise is meant to keep Lagos clean and healthier; he urged strict compliance by Lagos residents.
“This exercise is a collective responsibility and a vital part of our commitment to a cleaner, healthier, and flood-resilient Lagos. And it shall be backed with the full enforcement weight of the Lagos State Government,” he said.
