As Muslims around the global are set to mark the Eid – el – Adha holidays to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience to the dictates of Allah, the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps ( LAGESC) popularly known as KAI has urged Lagos residents to adopt environmentally – responsible acts via proper waste disposal, engaging in all – inclusive environmental sanitation during and after the sallah holidays.
This was disclosed by the Corps Marshall of the Agency, Major Olaniyi Olatunbosun Cole ( Rtd) in a statement made available to newsmen at the Command Headquarters situated at Bolade – Oshodi. According to him, “the sallah holidays are very significant to Muslims world, being that the sacrificial act of slaughtering rams commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience to Allah thousands years ago. While Lagos residents and particularly muslim faithfuls celebrate in Lagos, we keep advocating for the promotion of PSP operators and adoption of environmentally appealing choices.
The Major also read the riot act to Lagos residents to desist from displaying wares for sale on setbacks, lay – bys, kerbs, road verges, medians, gutter, slabs, citing how street trading impedes vehicular and pedestrian movement on our roads.
He finally highlighted the need for transiting Lagos commuters to remain safety – compliant by accessing strategically – erected pedestrian bridges instead of crossing the highways which results to hit and run cases by speeding motorists, thereby causing grievous bodily harm or death in some cases.
