Lagos State government has charged residents to align with the sanitation agenda of the present administration by celebrating Eid-el-Kabir hygienically.
  
Permanent Secretary, Office of Environmental Services in the State Ministry of the Environment, Gaji Omobolaji, in a statement, urged Lagosians to build on the sanitation gains already recorded across the state by maintaining cleanliness.
   
He advised all Muslims and celebrants to respect the environment, be mindful of littering and ensure that they dispose of animal waste properly during this festive period.
  
He said all generated waste through slaughtering of rams and other animals as well as waste and remnants from food items must be properly disposed of, through bagging and placement at designated points.
   
Omobolaji cautioned against dumping waste generated from slaughtering of animals into drains, stating that such action would come back to haunt all residents in no time.
  
He added that sanitation workers and waste managers would all be on duty during the holidays and have been mandated to work relentlessly across the State during this period.
  
According to him, the renewed administration of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu remains in the forefront of the campaign for a healthy and cleaner environment, encouraging Lagosians to desist from acts that could have negative impacts on the environment.
  
The Permanent Secretary, who decried the indiscriminate display of rams and cows in many unapproved locations in the metropolis, said it was contributing to traffic bottlenecks.
  
He reminded Lagosians that the law against street trading was still in force and would be enforced strictly.
    
“While it is a usual act for some traders to take advantage of the season to display and sell rams, this must be done at designated markets without defacing the environment, affecting traffic or compromising the wellbeing of Lagosians,” he added.
