The initiative, according to the Council, underscores the Chairman’s continued commitment to ensuring a clean, orderly, and safe environment for both residents and business owners within Ikeja.
Speaking during the exercise, Chairman AKOD reiterated that maintaining a clean environment is essential to public health, safety, and economic productivity.
He stressed that the ongoing sanitation and enforcement efforts align with the vision of the I.K.E.J.A Agenda, which is focused on creating an enabling environment where businesses can thrive while residents enjoy improved quality of life.
He further noted that environmental discipline remains a shared responsibility, urging traders, commuters, and residents to support government efforts in sustaining cleanliness and orderliness across the local government.
