Ikeja Local Government, in collaboration with Project WISE (West Region), Lagos Waste Management Authority Advocacy Team and the LAWMA Local Government Monitoring Unit, has successfully carried out Operation Clean Ikeja.
Eko Hot News reports that the environmental sanitation exercise commenced at the Ikeja Local Government Secretariat and ended at Alade Market, Allen Junction.
The exercise was led by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, alongside environmental officials and community stakeholders.
Operation Clean Ikeja focused on reinforcing sanitation compliance, proper waste disposal and adherence to environmental regulations within key commercial areas.
Officials said the initiative goes beyond enforcement, stressing that sustainable cleanliness requires strong community ownership and individual responsibility.
Residents and traders were sensitised on the importance of lawful waste management practices and the need to participate actively in sanitation efforts.
The collaboration between LAWMA and the local government reflects a broader strategy to strengthen grassroots monitoring and environmental advocacy.
Authorities reiterated that while government interventions set the pace for a cleaner Lagos, long-term success depends on daily responsible actions by residents.
They urged citizens to comply with environmental laws, dispose of waste properly and support community-based sanitation initiatives.
The stakeholders expressed optimism that sustained collaboration and public participation will deliver a cleaner and healthier Ikeja.
