The administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola
has lifted the order restricting movement of people during this month’s
environmental sanitation exercise on Saturday.
The move, according to the Lagos State government,
is to allow free movement of people and allow those who may wish to travel for
the Eid-el- Kabir easy access.
The Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello,
who disclosed this, said it was to ensure a hitchfree Sallah celebration.
He said: “According to the popular saying,
‘cleanliness is next to godliness.’ We cannot but encourage cleanliness in all
aspects of human endeavour and therefore enjoin all and sundry to ensure that
the festival is celebrated in the cleanliest environment possible.”
Bello, therefore, urged the Lagos residents to
still clean their homes and immediate environment, irrespective of the lifting
of the restriction order.
Wishing Muslim faithful a happy celebration, the
commissioner admonished Lagosians to bag their refuse properly for easy
collection and disposal at designated dumpsites by the Lagos State Waste
Management Authority, LAWMA, and PSP Operators.
Bello also assured that LAWMA would deploy men and
equipment to ensure quick evacuation of waste generated during the festive
period.
