Lagos Debunks Rumour On Environmental Sanitation

The Lagos State Government has debunked the rumour making the rounds in the media space on the environmental sanitation exercise as a result of the Executive Order by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

In a reaction to the news, the Deputy Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, said, “Our attention has been drawn to a piece of information being shared on social media and WhatsApp groups, which states that there will be an environmental sanitation exercise on Saturday as a result of an Executive Order signed by His Excellency, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on his day 1 in office as Governor of Lagos State”.

“We urge Lagosians to kindly ignore the message. Although Governor Sanwo-Olu signed an Executive Order against indiscriminate and illegal dumping of waste in the State, conversation on the return of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise is still a proposal.”

“Lagosians will be notified appropriately when the monthly environmental sanitation exercise is to commence” Mr. Akosile stated.
