After a long break due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Ogun State government says the monthly environmental sanitation exercise has resumed on Saturday, 26th of September from 7 am to 10 am.
A statement signed by the Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Environment, Hon. Abiodun Abudu-Balogun said although there was no restrictions of movement in all the twenty (20) Local Government Areas of the state, residents were enjoined to use the opportunity of the exercise especially during the rainy period to clear their drainage clean their premises/surrounding while maintaining social distancing and drop waste at designated points for government accredited waste collectors, adding that those found dumping waste in inappropriate places such as gutters, canals and water course would be prosecuted in accordance with state environmental laws.
The State Government, therefore, called for the continuous support of residents and the law enforcement agencies to make the exercise a huge success and keep safe and healthy.
