A cleaner environment is among the yardstick for ranking cities and for attracting multinational investors. Since it came on board, the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration has demonstrated the zeal and willingness to enhance improvement in the state’s waste management system. One of the earliest actions of Governor Sanwo-Olu was the signing of his first Executive Order to address sanitation as well as cleaning of drainages in the State.
The administration is resolved to rid the state of waste, necessitating the introduction of “Lagos at 4 am” operation and other laudable initiatives aimed at improving the state’s environmental architecture. “Lagos at 4 am” is an initiative to ensure wastes are evacuated and carted away in the early hours of the day as it is done in major global cities.
