Lagos First Lady Advocates Monthly Sanitation for Cleanliness

Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State First Lady, defended the necessity of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise during the October sanitation event in Ikorodu, Lagos State. She stated that the exercise is crucial for sustaining public awareness and ensuring a clean environment, despite some criticisms.

Sanwo-Olu announced that the state government would soon reveal the winner of the cleanest council competition to promote environmental cleanliness and healthy competition among communities. She urged residents to extend the sanitation culture beyond the designated day and expressed satisfaction with the participation level in Ikorodu, particularly praising children and community stakeholders.
