PRESS STATEMENT

MONTHLY ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION RESUSCITATED IN PLATEAU STATE

Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has directed the immediate resuscitation of the monthly environmental sanitation.
By this directive, the exercise is to resume with effect from this Saturday, 29th August, 2020.

By this notice, citizens are hereby enjoined to come out and clean their surroundings.
In addition to their interior, emphasis should be placed on the cutting down of grasses and clearing of drainages around their homes and business premises.

Government took this action in the best interest of the health and safety of its citizens and in realisation of the unacceptable sanitary conditions of some areas in the State which pose serious danger to their wellbeing.

In the light of this, movement will be restricted between the hours of 7.00 and 10.00 a.m. All entry and exit points into and out of the state will be shut except for those on essential services.

Parents and guardians are hereby adviced to keep their wards in check and to come out en masse to clean their surroundings.

Security agents and Mobile courts have been duly mobilised to apprehend and try offenders who fail to comply.

This will be the routine every last Saturday of the month until further notice please.

Dan Manjang,
Honourable Commissioner,
Information and Communication,
Plateau State.
Thursday 27th August, 2020.
