The Chairman, Igbogbo/Baiyeku Local Council Development Area (IBLCDA), Omo’ba Hammed Aroyewun, has officially announced the resumption of the Monthly Environmental Sanitation Exercise, in line with the Lagos State Government’s directive under the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Aroyewun, who made the announcement on Saturday, called on all residents, households, businesses, and community stakeholders to embrace the exercise as a collective responsibility toward building a sustainable and healthy environment.
According to the council boss, the exercise will commence on Saturday, 25th April 2026, and will be observed every last Saturday between 6:30am and 8:30am.
The Chairman emphasised the need for all residents to participate actively in the exercise by sweeping and clearing refuse in front of homes, shops, and business premises and clearing blocked drainages and waterways within their immediate environment.
He also charged on the need to properly dispose waste at designated refuse collection points, refraining from indiscriminate dumping of refuse in drains, roadsides, or open spaces and educating neighbours, tenants, and household members on the importance of environmental hygiene.
“A clean environment is a healthy environment. Environmental sanitation is not merely a civic duty — it is a shared responsibility that protects our children, families, and communities from preventable diseases such as cholera, typhoid, malaria, and other sanitation-related illnesses.
“Under the THEMES+ Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, we remain steadfast in our mission to deliver a cleaner, safer, and more livable Igbogbo/Baiyeku for all. Your cooperation and active participation are not just welcomed — they are essential,” he said.
