The Kwara state government has informed public that the modified monthly sanitation exercise for this month will come up on Saturday, 27th April, 2024 starting from seven to nine o’clock in the morning.
This was made known to the residents of the state by a press release from the Ministry of Environment and the public are hereby enjoined to fully participate in the exercise, by cleaning both residential and business environments.
However there will be vehicular and human movement across the state due to ongoing UTME Examination (JAMB) and both the sanitation exercise and the examinations are expected to proceed smoothly.
Waste Management trucks will be made available for waste collection and subsequent disposal of the same at the dump site of the metropolis. Also, some of the illegal dump sites in some major areas will be cleared.
Residents are warned to not attempt to obstruct government officials from carrying out their statutory obligations, as this will attract penalties within the ambit of the law.
The people of Kwara were also reminded that it is an offence to dump refuse on pedestrian walkways, road medians, drainages, canals and all other unapproved dump sites.
