Lagos denies reintroducing environmental sanitation in July

THE Lagos State Government, yesterday, said it has not re-introduced the monthly environmental sanitation and will not commence restriction of movement by July

The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, in a statement, described the viral news as the work of mischief makers who were keen on confusing residents

He added that there will be no restriction of movements on the last Saturday of July as erroneously included in the fake news.

Wahab said: “The Governor also stated that state government officials will lead from the front every week by going around to join residents in voluntarily cleaning their environment while preaching the message.

“At no time did Mr Governor make a pronouncement that the monthly exercise and restriction will start in July or any other month for now.”
