No restriction on movement during sanitation exercise - Lagos commissioner

The Lagos State Government has issued a clarification regarding movement restrictions during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise. Officials reiterated that residents are free to move about as usual, emphasizing that no policy is in place to prohibit movement during this time.

This statement serves to address potential confusion or misinformation about the exercise. The government stressed that any arrests made based solely on the grounds of movement during the sanitation period would be deemed illegal. This aims to ensure residents are aware of their rights and the actual regulations in place.

The monthly environmental sanitation exercise is a regular initiative by the Lagos State Government aimed at maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the state. The clarification underscores the government's commitment to ensuring the exercise is conducted smoothly without unduly restricting citizens' freedom of movement.
