The May 2016 edition of the monthly environmental sanitation slated for Saturday, May 28, 2016, will no longer hold.
This is to give easy movement of examination materials and also for students, invigilators and other stakeholders to participate effectively in the National Business and Technical Examinations Board, NABTEB, Examination taking place across the country tomorrow.
Commissioner for the Environment, Dr Babatunde Adejare, who disclosed this, appealed to residents of the state to still observe the monthly exercise by cleaning their homes and drainages.
According to Adejare, the monthly cleaning exercise will resume in June 2016.
He noted that the state government waived May’s exercise so as not to jeopardize the future of the candidates whose counterparts in other parts of the federation will write the same examination.
His words, “As a responsible and responsive government, we value the education of our children very dearly and therefore resolved to relax the order in the interest of the future leaders of tomorrow.
“As we are all aware, Lagos is a Coastal City that has high water table levels and prone to flooding whenever it rains. We must therefore imbibe habits which will reduce to the barest minimum the incidence of flooding in the state.”
