In a bid to maintain a clean and healthy environment, the Kwara State Government has announced the reinstatement of the 3-hour monthly sanitation exercise, effective immediately. The exercise will take place from 7:00 am to 10:00 am on designated days.
According to the State Commissioner for Environment, Hajia Nafisat Musa Buge, the decision is in line with the state’s Environmental Sanitation law of Section 29 (2) CAP E4 of 2006.
