Lagos State is set to resume its monthly environmental sanitation exercise on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 6:30am to 8:30am, with the initiative scheduled to occur on the last Saturday of every month. Tokunbo Wahab, commissioner for environment and water resources, disclosed the modalities in an X post on Wednesday, following a symbolic flag-off event held on March 14, 2026, along the Mushin Agege Motor Road corridor. During the sanitation window, movement across the state will be controlled to allow residents to clean their homes, surroundings, and drainage channels. Enforcement will be carried out by personnel from the ministry of environment, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI), the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), and local government sanitation inspectors. Defaulters who fail to comply with the exercise will face sanctions as stipulated under the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law of 2017. LAWMA trucks will be deployed to collect bagged waste generated during the exercise. The government also announced plans to reward the cleanest local government areas and streets as part of efforts to encourage participation and sustained environmental responsibility.
