The Executive Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Comrade Akeem Olalekan Dauda, on Saturday led council officials and residents in the monthly environmental sanitation exercise across several communities within the council area.
The sanitation exercise covered Ipodo, Seriki-Aro, and Anifowoshe areas, with the chairman personally supervising the clean-up operations aimed at promoting a cleaner and healthier environment.
Demonstrating hands-on leadership, Comrade Dauda joined sanitation workers in clearing overgrown grasses and cleaning drainage corridors along Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way and the Olowu axis of Isale-Awori in Ikeja.
The chairman reiterated the importance of environmental cleanliness in preventing disease outbreaks and maintaining a safe and healthy community. He urged residents to make environmental sanitation a continuous responsibility rather than a monthly exercise.
Residents and council officials commended the chairman’s active participation, describing it as a reflection of his commitment to good governance and community development.
The monthly sanitation exercise forms part of the local government’s efforts to sustain a clean environment and improve the quality of life for residents across Ikeja.
