Environmental sanitation is not merely a civic duty—it is a shared responsibility that protects our children, families, and communities from preventable diseases such as cholera, typhoid, malaria, and other sanitation-related illnesses. Under the THEMES+ Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, we remain steadfast in our mission to deliver a cleaner, safer, and more livable Igbogbo/Baiyeku for all. Your cooperation and active participation are not just welcomed—they are essential.”
