The Lagos State government has announced the resumption of its monthly environmental sanitation exercise, set to take place on April 25, 2026. This initiative, spearheaded by the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, is designed to engage residents in community participation for enhancing environmental hygiene and addressing waste management issues. The exercise will occur on the last Saturday of each month from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., focusing on the collective responsibility of residents to keep their surroundings clean.

In his statements, Commissioner Wahab emphasized the importance of civic duty in building a healthier city, encouraging residents to actively participate by cleaning up their neighborhoods, clearing drainage channels, and understanding the significance of proper waste disposal. This exercise is not only a call for cleanliness but also a communal effort to mitigate the risks associated with waste, particularly in a bustling urban center like Lagos, which faces ongoing challenges with waste management and environmental sustainability.

Wahab has assured that the government will enforce compliance with this sanitation initiative, highlighting it as a structured approach to foster a sense of responsibility among residents. The return of this monthly event reflects the government's ongoing commitment to improving public health and environmental conditions, reinforcing the need for collective action in urban sanitation and sustainability efforts.
