Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, on Sunday, flagged off re-introduction of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in the state, barely seven years after the campaign was cancelled.
Daily Trust reports that in November 2016, ex-Governor Akinwunmi Ambode cancelled the sanitation exercise, which was held between 7am and 10am on the last Saturday of every month.
Ambode’s Commissioner for Information, Steve Ayorinde, had explained that considering the status of Lagos as a megacity, it was no longer appropriate to restrict movement for three hours.
