The compulsory every last Saturday Environmental sanitation in Lagos has now been cancelled...Governor Ambode tells why

The every last Saturday mandatory clean up of
Lagos from 7am to 10am has now been
cancelled.
Accoding to a statement made available by
the state Commissioner for the Environment,
Babatunde Adejare, during the ministry’s
monthly media chat in Lagos today, the
monthly exercise will be jettisoned because of
its cost to the state’s economy.
The commissioner disclosed that the state
governor Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has decided
that the state cannot afford to shut down a
mega city like Lagos for a period of 3 hours.
Mr. Adejare noted that environmental
sanitation should rather be a daily exercise
and charged residents to make it a way of
life.
The commissioner also vowed that the state
will shut down markets violating the state’s
environmental laws.
