Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, has joined residents of Amuwo-Odofin for the monthly environmental sanitation exercise, urging greater public participation in keeping the state clean.
Epe Insights reports that Hamzat disclosed his participation in the exercise in a statement shared with the public, where he highlighted the importance of collective responsibility in maintaining a clean and healthy Lagos.
The Deputy Governor said keeping the environment clean should not be left solely to government agencies.
He noted that residents have an important role to play by maintaining clean surroundings and supporting sanitation efforts within their communities.
Hamzat participated in the exercise alongside residents of Amuwo-Odofin as Lagos carried out its monthly environmental sanitation activities.
The engagement provided an opportunity for the Deputy Governor to interact with residents while encouraging them to remain committed to environmental cleanliness.
He thanked residents who came out to participate and contribute to the sanitation exercise.
According to Hamzat, every clean street begins with individual and community commitment to maintaining a healthy environment.
He stressed that simple actions by residents can contribute significantly to improving the appearance and hygiene of neighbourhoods.
The Deputy Governor also emphasised the connection between environmental cleanliness and the wellbeing of communities.
A clean environment can help create healthier and more comfortable surroundings for residents.
Hamzat’s participation also underscored the Lagos State Government’s continued emphasis on environmental responsibility.
The monthly sanitation exercise provides an opportunity for residents to devote time to cleaning their homes, streets and surrounding areas.
It also encourages communities to work together towards maintaining better environmental standards.
The Deputy Governor’s presence in Amuwo-Odofin added further visibility to the exercise and its message of shared responsibility.
He encouraged residents to see environmental sanitation as a regular community responsibility rather than an occasional government activity.
Hamzat said maintaining clean surroundings requires consistent effort from individuals, families, community groups and government agencies.
The exercise also offered residents an opportunity to contribute directly to the cleanliness of their neighbourhood.
Community participation remains important to the success of environmental sanitation initiatives.
When residents take responsibility for their surroundings, sanitation efforts can have a more lasting impact.
The Deputy Governor appreciated those who responded positively to the exercise.
He acknowledged their contribution towards maintaining cleaner streets and healthier communities.
The monthly exercise forms part of Lagos State’s broader environmental management efforts.
The state has continued to promote proper waste management and responsible environmental practices across its communities.
Residents are expected to dispose of waste appropriately and avoid practices that could undermine the cleanliness of public spaces.
Government agencies and waste management operators also have responsibilities in supporting efficient sanitation and waste disposal.
The cooperation of residents remains essential to ensuring that these efforts produce sustainable results.
Hamzat’s engagement in Amuwo-Odofin therefore served as both participation in the exercise and a reminder of the importance of community involvement.
The Deputy Governor encouraged residents to continue playing their part beyond the designated sanitation period.
He noted that maintaining a clean environment should become part of everyday community life.
The message also reinforces the need for residents to take ownership of their immediate surroundings.
Clean streets, properly managed waste and healthy public spaces can contribute to a better quality of life.
The exercise brought together residents who shared a common objective of improving their environment.
Their participation demonstrated the potential of community cooperation in supporting government environmental initiatives.
Hamzat expressed gratitude to everyone who joined the sanitation exercise and contributed their time and effort.
He said their commitment was important to building cleaner and healthier communities across Lagos.
The Deputy Governor’s participation comes as the state continues to encourage residents to support environmental programmes.
The government has repeatedly stressed that maintaining a clean Lagos requires cooperation between public authorities, private waste operators and residents.
Such cooperation can help strengthen waste management and improve environmental conditions across neighbourhoods.
Amuwo-Odofin, like other parts of Lagos, depends on active participation from residents to sustain sanitation efforts.
The exercise also provided an opportunity to reinforce awareness about the importance of environmental responsibility.
Hamzat’s message was simple: every resident has a role to play in keeping Lagos clean.
He encouraged residents to continue maintaining their streets and communities after the monthly exercise.
The Deputy Governor’s participation also demonstrated the importance of government officials leading by example in environmental initiatives.
The state government is expected to continue its engagement with communities as part of efforts to promote environmental cleanliness.
Residents are equally encouraged to sustain the habits developed during sanitation exercises throughout the month.
The goal is to ensure that cleaner streets and healthier communities become a permanent feature of Lagos neighbourhoods.
For Amuwo-Odofin residents, the exercise provided an opportunity to work collectively towards a cleaner environment.
Hamzat’s participation further highlighted the administration’s emphasis on shared responsibility.
The Deputy Governor thanked all participants and encouraged them to maintain the commitment to environmental cleanliness.
He reiterated that every clean street and healthy community begins with individual responsibility and collective action.
As Lagos continues its environmental management efforts, active participation by residents remains central to achieving a cleaner and more sustainable state.
