A statement issued, Thursday, by the
Office of the Commissioner for the Ministry of Environment, Dr.
Babatunde Adejare, noted that despite the lifting of the restriction
order, Lagosians are still expected to observe the monthly exercise by
cleaning their homes and immediate environment.
The Commissioner enjoined Lagosians to
make the cleaning of their environment top priority in realization of
the fact that the rainy season is fast approaching, saying that
“As we gradually approach the rainy season, Lagosians must shun acts that could contribute to flooding such as dumping waste in unauthorized places like canals and drainage channels.”“We cannot but encourage cleanliness in all aspects of our physical and spiritual life, having just completed the 40 days of the Christian fasting. I therefore wish to enjoin all and sundry to ensure that the festival is celebrated in the cleanliest environment possible.”While wishing all Lagosians a happy Easter celebration, Adejare advised them to celebrate in moderation and be conscious of their environment, stressing that “we need to respect our environment, so as not to incur the wrath of nature.”
