The Adamawa State Government has dedicated the last Saturday of every month to environmental sanitation exercises.
The State Executive Council, SEC, which approved this at its meeting Wednesday, stressed that it would be a statewide exercise by which every citizen will be expected to clean up their environment.
Adamawa State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mrs Niedo Geoffrey Kofulto, who disclosed the decision to journalists after the SEC meeting presided over by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, urged the citizens to bear the day in mind and act accordingly.
DAILY POST recalls that the government-enforced sanitation routine was popular in the 1980s when it was enforced by the military government.
It was a component of the military government’s War Against Indiscipline, WAI, which was intended generally to make Nigerians disciplined and clean.
Adamawa has become one of the very few states to officially enforce a sanitation exercise in contemporary times.
