Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday joined other senior government officials in the monthly environmental sanitation exercise held in the Ojuelegba area of Lagos State.
The exercise, which is part of the state’s routine environmental cleanup programme, also had in attendance the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, alongside other government officials.
A correspondent who monitored the exercise reported that the governor actively participated in the sanitation activity as residents and officials worked to clean surrounding streets and drainage channels.
The Lagos State Government had earlier issued a public reminder urging residents to take part in the monthly exercise.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Commissioner Tokunbo Wahab called on residents to clean their homes, drainages, markets, and public spaces in order to reduce flooding risks and improve environmental hygiene.
Wahab stressed that proper waste disposal and consistent environmental maintenance are key to preventing flooding, reducing health hazards, and promoting public safety across the state.
