The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the reintroduction of monthly environmental sanitation in the state, eight years after its cancellation.
Recall, the state government on November 23, 2016, announced it was doing away with the monthly enviromental sanitation following the defeat it suffered from a legal battle over the restriction of movement during the monthly sanitation..
In a recent development, the state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed to newsmen that the State Executive Council granted the approval.
He said the sanitation which would commence in July, would be officially announced by the governor soon.
“Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the state executive council have approved the re-introduction of the monthly sanitation. The governor will announce it officially for the exercise to commence this month,” Wahab, who spoke in Yoruba language, said in a 21-second clip shared on the Lagos State Environmental Update page on X.
It is, however, unclear if the re-introduced environmental sanitation which would be symbolically launched In July at the Lagos Island would take the format of the cancelled monthly sanitation
