The Lagos State Government on Wednesday stated that it has not re-introduced the monthly environmental sanitation and is not starting any movement restriction by July.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources,
Tokunbo Wahab, stated that those behind the report are mischief makers who are
keen on confusing residents.
This was contained in a statement by the ministry’s Director
of Public Affairs, Kunle Adeshina.
Wahab urged all residents to disregard the content of the
viral fake news and go about their lawful business endeavour, adding that there
will be no restriction of movements on the last Saturday of July as erroneously
included in the fake news.
The commissioner explained that what Governor Babajide
Sanwo-Olu announced on Sunday during a sanitation sensitisation exercise at
Campos playground Lagos Island was that the state will start a weekly
community-based sensitisation and awareness exercise that will involve all
residents.
“The governor also stated that State Government officials
will lead from the front every week by going round to join residents in
voluntarily cleaning their environment while preaching the message,” he said.
Wahab added that at no time did the governor make a
pronouncement that the monthly exercise and restriction would start in July or
any other month for now.
The commissioner urged all residents to imbibe the culture
of cleaning their surroundings all the time and not wait until the government
declares a particular month for the commencement of sanitation or restriction
of movement.
