The Eredo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), under the leadership of its Executive Chairman, Hon. Ismail Monsuru Akinloye, has announced Saturday, August 29, 2026, for its monthly environmental sanitation exercise.
Epe Insights reports that the exercise is part of the council’s efforts to promote a clean, healthy and environmentally friendly community across Eredo LCDA.
The council called on residents, traders, business owners and other members of the public to participate actively in the sanitation exercise.
Residents are expected to clean their homes and immediate surroundings before and during the exercise.
Business operators have also been urged to ensure that their business premises are properly cleaned.
The council specifically encouraged residents and traders to pay attention to markets and other public areas within their communities.
Drainage channels are also expected to be cleared of refuse and other materials that could obstruct the free flow of water.
The council said maintaining clean drainage systems is important to promoting a healthier environment.
It also urged residents to take responsibility for the cleanliness of their surroundings.
According to the council, environmental cleanliness should not be treated as the responsibility of government alone.
Community members, businesses and other stakeholders all have important roles to play in maintaining a clean environment.
The monthly exercise provides an opportunity for residents to remove accumulated waste and improve the appearance of their communities.
The council appealed to residents to cooperate with the exercise and ensure that their surroundings are kept clean beyond the sanitation period.
Akinloye’s administration also warned residents and business operators against indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
The council said waste should be properly disposed of through approved channels.
Indiscriminate dumping of waste can block drainage channels and create unhealthy conditions within communities.
The council therefore urged residents to avoid disposing of refuse on roadsides, drainage channels and other unauthorised locations.
It also prohibited the indiscriminate burning of waste within the council area.
Residents were advised to adopt proper waste disposal practices as part of their daily activities.
The council said responsible waste management would contribute to a cleaner and healthier Eredo.
The sanitation exercise is also expected to encourage greater environmental awareness among residents.
Community participation, according to the council, remains essential to achieving sustainable environmental cleanliness.
Residents were therefore encouraged to mobilise their families, neighbours and community groups for the exercise.
Market associations and business operators were also urged to ensure that their respective areas are properly cleaned.
The council called on community leaders to support the exercise by encouraging residents to comply with the sanitation directive.
Religious, social and youth groups were similarly encouraged to promote environmental responsibility within their communities.
The council noted that a clean environment benefits everyone and contributes to improved public wellbeing.
It urged residents to view environmental sanitation as a collective responsibility rather than a routine government activity.
The August exercise will provide residents with an opportunity to address environmental concerns within their immediate surroundings.
Particular attention is expected to be given to areas where refuse accumulation and blocked drainage may pose environmental concerns.
The council also encouraged residents to maintain the cleanliness achieved during the exercise.
According to the administration, regular cleaning and proper waste disposal are important to sustaining a healthy environment.
The council appealed to residents to cooperate with relevant officials during the sanitation exercise.
It also urged business owners to make adequate arrangements to clean their premises before resuming normal activities.
The environmental exercise is part of the council’s broader efforts to promote orderly and sustainable communities.
Akinloye’s administration has continued to encourage residents to take ownership of their environment.
The council said the success of the exercise would depend significantly on the willingness of residents to participate.
Residents were reminded that environmental sanitation should extend beyond designated monthly exercises.
They were encouraged to cultivate regular cleaning habits within their homes, businesses and public spaces.
The council also stressed the importance of keeping drainage channels free from refuse throughout the year.
Proper drainage maintenance can help prevent the accumulation of stagnant water and other environmental concerns.
The administration further encouraged traders to keep markets and surrounding areas clean.
It urged them to properly package and dispose of waste generated through their daily business activities.
Residents were also advised against using vacant spaces, roadsides and drainage channels as dumping grounds.
The council said such practices undermine efforts to maintain a clean and orderly environment.
Akinloye called for collective commitment to environmental cleanliness across Eredo LCDA.
He urged residents to support the government’s efforts by complying with sanitation guidelines.
The council expressed confidence that active participation would make the August exercise successful.
It also encouraged residents to share information about the sanitation exercise with their neighbours and community members.
The August 29 exercise is therefore expected to bring residents together in promoting cleaner communities across Eredo.
The council reiterated that environmental cleanliness requires continuous commitment from individuals, businesses and government.
It urged everyone to contribute to creating a safer, cleaner and healthier environment.
Residents of Eredo LCDA are consequently encouraged to prepare ahead of the exercise and clean their surroundings.
The council also called for responsible waste disposal before, during and after the sanitation exercise.
Under the leadership of Hon. Ismail Monsuru Akinloye, Eredo LCDA said it would continue to support initiatives that promote environmental responsibility and community wellbeing.
The council urged all residents and business operators to participate fully in the August 29 sanitation exercise.
It also reminded everyone that maintaining a clean environment is a shared responsibility.
