The Lagos State Government has cancelled restriction of Human/Vehicular activities during the April statewide monthly Sanitation Exercise in order to allow students in the state participate in the Nationwide National Common Entrance Examination coming up tomorrow Saturday April 25, 2015.
According to Tunji Bello, Commissioner for the Environment, this cancellation is to allow easy movement of Invigilators, Parents/ Guardians/Students and Examinations materials to the respective centers.
The Cancellation of the restriction of movement is lifted in order to allow our children participate in the Nationwide Examination like their counterparts in other parts of the Federation.
The Commissioner however advised that Lagosians should still use this period for the usual cleaning of their homes, drainages in their frontages and their general environment.
He further said that both LAWMA and other Waste Mangers/PSP across the State will be available to cart the Waste generated during the cleaning exercise.
He also advised that as we gradually approach the peak of the rainy season Lagosians should dispose their waste righty as well as avoid dumping waste into drains.
Lagosians should also desist from patronizing Cart Pushers who end up disposing such waste into canals and eventuality leads to flooding.
He confirmed that the State is intensifying its mid rain deflooding programme in order to reduce to the barest minimum the incidence of flooding in the state.
