Shutting down a city of 20 million people to clean their immediate environment is parochial and lacks imagination.

For emphasis: the issue is not so much about cleaning your environment (which is great) but the logistics of waste management - starting from the collection, to disposal and recycling.

Anything short of rethinking this system is cosmetic and unimaginative.

Tomorrow morning between 6:30am and 8:30am, we begin a new chapter in our collective journey toward a cleaner Lagos. The monthly environmental sanitation exercise returns, and I am calling on every resident to come out and participate actively.

Let me address the confusion some have tried to create. No court pronouncement has invalidated this exercise. The State proceeded to the Court of Appeal, and judgment was delivered in our favour. The Court affirmed that the laws used for the implementation and enforcement of environmental sanitation are legitimate and constitutional. So disregard those who choose to mislead the public.

We have planned this for over a year. We have thought it through. We cannot keep complaining about dirty surroundings and blaming government while shirking our own responsibilities. The care of our environment is a collaborative project between government and citizens.

Major transport unions controlling about 90% of vehicles on our roads have pledged not to deploy their vehicles from major parks during the sanitation window. If government vehicles are staying put, what will it cost us to stay home for just two hours to clean our environment?

We are not unreasonable. Exceptions exist for emergencies, scheduled flights, and students writing JAMB exams. LAWMA has been fully mobilized to evacuate waste generated. Environmental health officers will monitor properties, and defaulters will be served abatement notices.

Tomorrow, let us show Lagos and the world that we are ready to take ownership of our environment. Two hours. One Saturday each month. A cleaner, healthier, flood-free Lagos for all of us.

i wonder who and who Ambode is consulting with for the governorship ticket, are these not the people that will vote during the primaries that Hamzat is buying to his side already

Peter Obi built nothing in Anambra when he was Governor.

No schools built by him, no factories, no companies, no malls, no major projects, nothing.

He didn’t even build his own people, never invested in anybody.

No Anambra man can tell you he’s successful today because of Peter Obi.

You can’t build your state, you can’t build your people, so what are you going to do as President?

Bros, Yul, please don't eat your words; it causes amnesia!

Today, I also met with GAC member, Senator Ganiyu Solomon as part of my ongoing consultations and we discussed the future of Lagos.

I drew on his experience and perspective, reinforcing the need to stay focused on what truly matters to Lagos and the work ahead.

I visited our party secretariat, where I met with the Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi and members of the State Working Committee.

In our discussion, I shared my plans for Lagos and reaffirmed what we all know but must keep front of mind that Lagos remains central to Nigeria’s growth and future.

The work ahead is clear and together we will keep Lagos moving forward.

Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, Deputy Governor of Lagos State and 2027 All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, continues his consultations with a visit to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.

I paid a consultation visit to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudasiru Obasa, where we had a thoughtful discussion on the direction of our state.

I took the time to share my priorities for Lagos State and I remain committed to doing the work that keeps our state on track.
