“Lagosians should work with the Ambassadors by shuning unpatriotic environmental practices such as indiscriminate dumping of refuse into drainages and canals, littering the road with refuses, which find their way into the coastlines of the state” – Mr. Odumboni said.


He called on the Ambassadors to use their arts to Sensitize Lagosians on good waste management activities to assure a healthier and cleaner Lagos.
