MONTH OF MAY LAST SATURDAY ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION EXERCISE

As we prepare for the Month of May Environmental Sanitation Exercise scheduled to hold on Saturday, 30th May, 2026, from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., I wish to encourage all residents and stakeholders within our communities to actively participate in this important civic responsibility.

Environmental sanitation remains one of the most effective ways of promoting public health, preventing disease outbreaks, and creating a safe and pleasant environment for everyone. Clean surroundings contribute significantly to the well-being of residents and support the sustainable development of our communities.

I urge all residents to utilize the sanitation period to clean their homes, surroundings, drainage channels, streets, markets, schools, and public spaces. Proper waste disposal, clearing of blocked drains, removal of refuse dumps, and maintenance of hygienic surroundings should be our collective priority.

As an Educationist, Environmental Advocate, and Peaceful Community Enthusiast, I strongly believe that environmental cleanliness is everyone's responsibility. Government efforts can only achieve maximum success when citizens actively support and participate in keeping their environment clean.

Let us demonstrate our commitment to a healthier and greener Lagos by fully observing the sanitation exercise tomorrow. Together, we can reduce environmental hazards, prevent flooding, and create a cleaner atmosphere for ourselves and future generations.

I therefore call on all residents to comply with the sanitation guidelines and make the exercise a success.

Date: Saturday, 30th May, 2026

A Clean Environment Protects Our Health, Preserves Our Future, and Promotes Peaceful Communities.

Keep Lagos Clean, Green and Peaceful.
