The
Lagos State Government (LASG) has lifted the restriction order on human and
vehicular movements during this month’s environmental sanitation slated for Saturday (February 27) in order to
allow students, invigilators and other stakeholders
participate effectively in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) organised by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The statement said that
the Commissioner for the Environment, Dr Babatunde Adejare, had directed
residents of the state to still observe the day by cleaning their homes and
environments. He urged all Lagosians to rise up and take sanitation of their
environments very important adding that, “This is one of the practical measures
that can guarantee a flood-free Lagos.”
The commissioner
said that the state government had embarked on continuous clearing, maintenance
and dredging of canals across the state to pre-empt the incidences of flooding.
Adejare admonished Lagosians to bag their refuse properly to allow for easy
collection and disposal to designated landfill sites by Lagos Waste Management
Authority (LAWMA) and the Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators. The
commissioner also assured Lagosians that LAWMA would deploy men and equipment
to ensure quick evacuation of waste generated during the exercise.
