Lagos tasks residents on clean habits

THE Lagos State Government has urged residents to ensure that the gains already made towards a cleaner environment in the city are not eroded as they join Muslims to celebrate the Eid- el Kabir.

The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tunji Bello, in a statement, said residents should complement the efforts of various agencies at timely evacuation of waste and cleaning of drains, especially during the festive period.

According to him, all waste generated through the slaughtering of rams and other animals and waste from food items should be properly disposed of after bagging through approved PSP operators, just as everyone must avoid unsanitary actions.

Bello, while felicitating with all Muslims, urged resident to celebrate moderately

He added that for all those who would make public outings during the holidays, they should avoid littering while observing COVID- 19 safety protocols.

“In view of the prevalence of the pandemic COVID- 19 and observance of the prescribed safety protocols, everyone must always ensure that they handle waste in the most appropriate ways,” he added.
