Wife of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lady, Dr. Mrs. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, who spoke during the presentation of prizes such as mini vans to the cleanest Local Council in the metropolitan, urban and sub urban categories, said the task cannot be left to only the government.
She added that the unsanitary conditions of some communities within the State are of great concern and require a great sanitary awakening adding that the essence of the exercise is to assess the state of environmental sanitation across the communities with respect to waste management, streets cleaning, tertiary drainage maintenance, and community beautification.
Earlier, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tunji Bello, stated that in a rapidly urbanising society like Lagos, sustainable solid waste management practices remains a key challenge, adding that poor waste management causes air pollution, water pollution, as well as marine litters and all these contribute to climate change.
According to him, it was based on the aforementioned that the Ministry, with approval of Mr Governor, resuscitated the yearly environmental sanitation competition among LGA and LCDAs to raise peoples’ consciousness on the need to prioritise sanitation and be a vehicle of change for the larger society.
