Sanwo-Olu Calls For Cleaner Lagos

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria has called on residents of the state to support his administration’s vision for a cleaner Lagos.

Gatekeepers News reports that Sanwo-Olu made this call via his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday.

The Governor noted that the ‘Clean Up of Lagos’ vision demands out-of-the-box thinking and discipline.

He said, “The clean-up of Lagos, getting rid of waste and reducing pollution is a shared vision and collective effort that demands out-of-the-box thinking and extreme discipline.”

Sanwo-Olu said he moved the Commissioner of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, to the ministry “because I saw passion and pragmatism as well as the discipline required to do the difficult things.”

Sanwo-Olu added, “Working closely with LAWMA, LASEPA, LAGESC, as well as other agencies, they have hit the ground running in the efforts to clean up Lagos.”

The Governor, while speaking of the clearing of an illegal dumpsite in the Amuwo Odofin area of the state said, “This is a very good example of clearing and regenerating an illegal dumpsite in Amuwo Odofin.

“A lot of such projects are going on across the state and I need the support of all residents in achieving the success of this goal.”
