The Lagos State
Government will not relent in its effort at making the state the safest place
to live in by providing a safe environment, the Commissioner for Environment,
Dr Babatunde Adejare has said.
Adejare made the assertion at the official
flag-off of the Lagos State Market Deratisation Programme, aimed at ridding the
state of the Lassa Fever vector at Obalende market on Thursday.
The government is collaborating with Phosguard
Fumigants, an NGO, to promote the programme through “Kill rats, make more money
in Lagos”.
Under the programme, the residents are
encouraged to kill rats in their environs which the programme implementers,
Phosguard will buy at a yet-to-be determined price for proper disposal.
The commissioner said the government was resolved to make
Lagos State one of the safest places in spite of its increasing population.
