Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has disclosed that his government will ask the people of the state if they want him to bring back the monthly sanitation exercise.
The State Government had in November 2016 gotten rid of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise held every last Saturday of the month.
Ambode and co said it was not necessary to limit the movement of people for 3 hours in a super big city like Lasgidi, when they can be chasing commercial and entrepreneurial activities.
Sanwo said, “We are going to ask Lagosians if they want us to return the three- hour monthly sanitation to ensure we have cleaner city.
“Though I know what my own views are, but we will still need to ask Lagosians,”
“Today, we came here to validate the executive order we signed. This is where we receive 70 per cent of the waste in Lagos.
“The facility is 28 years old, so we want to ensure it can receive waste for the next 23 years.
“We want to see how we can improve the road condition, just so that the compactor trucks can have a quicker turn around time.
“The building we are constructing at the entrance of the site will be used to train and retrain the staff and create jobs for more people.
“Half of the waste that comes here need not to be here, as they would have been recycled. Recycling is the way to go.”
We came here to show people we are not armchair politicians. We are going to create jobs here for people who have nothing doing.
“There is money in waste if properly harnessed. We are going to take back the pride of Lagos.”
