Deputy Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly Rt Hon. Wasiu Esinlokun Sanni has urged residents, particularly traders, to stop the indiscriminate dumping of refuse on medians and gutters in the state.
Sanni spoke on Wednesday in Lagos at meet-the-constituents parley for Lagos Island constituency 1.
Sanni said the indiscriminate dumping of refuse has contributed immensely to the blockade of drainages which usually lead to flooding and traffic congestion.
The lawmaker spoke just as residents made a passionate return for the monthly sanitation exercise.
They said a return of the monthly exercise would help sanitise the refuse collection system in the state.
Sanni said residents need to support the government in its task of taking the state to greater heights, adding the issue of refuse and waste disposal is becoming a real menace.
”The Lagos State House of Assembly enjoined all residents to comply with all the state government’s regulations regarding waste control and disposal, embrace attitudinal change, and continue to support the state government in is effort to take Lagos to greater height.”
