In a renewed effort to maintain a cleaner and healthier environment, the Kwara State Government has reinstated the traditional 3-hour duration for its monthly sanitation exercise, effective immediately.
State Commissioner for Environment, Hon. Nafisat Musa Buge, announced the change today in Ilorin. This decision aligns with Section 29 (2) CAP E4 of the Kwara State Environmental Sanitation Law of 2006, which mandates that the sanitation exercise should occur from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Commissioner Buge, in a statement by Yakub Aliagan, the Press Secretary of the Ministry, emphasized the importance of the extended sanitation period to combat indiscriminate refuse dumping and prevent potential disease outbreaks.
"The sanitation exercise is crucial for maintaining public health and must be observed in accordance with our state laws," she said.
She urged residents to use the time to clean their surroundings, clear drainages, and trim overgrown bushes around their homes.
"By investing more time in maintaining our environment, we can help ensure a healthier and more attractive Kwara for everyone," Buge added.
The Commissioner also called for public cooperation with government agencies in these efforts, stressing that a cleaner environment will not only benefit residents but also make the state more appealing to potential investors.
Good one from the government but I hope such energy could also be invested in delivery good governance to provide other things the citizens deserve like good hospital and schools
