Lagos State Government has been urged to construct good drainage across communities and create awareness on the need for residents to have clean environment.

The Youth Empowerment and Development Initiative made this call during a sensitisation tour of Orile, Bode Thomas and Mile 2 in commemoration of the World Malaria Day outreach.

The Acting Executive Director, YEDI, Tomisin Adeoye, urged residents to ensure clean environment, adding that it was essential that malaria be prevented by the use of long-lasting insecticidal nets. “As you can see, this neighbourhood is very dirty and that is part of the reason we came here. So, they can be advised on the importance of keeping a good environment to ensure good hygiene. A dirty community is prone to malaria. Besides, we offer health services to these people, including malaria testing and distribution of bed nets. We have medical doctors and also work in partnership with the community outreach from LASUTH.

They should sensitise them through the media and grass-root engagement on the need to have a clean environment.”Dr Femi Adebayo from LASUTH said testing for malaria was essential as it helps to reduce unnecessary use of anti-malarial drugs and herbal medications, thereby preventing drug abuse.
