Enugu relaxes sanitation enforcement for April clean-up exercise

 

Residents of Enugu State have been urged to participate in the monthly environmental sanitation exercise scheduled for Saturday, 25 April 2026.

In a statement signed by the Managing Director of the Enugu State Waste Management Authority (ESWAMA), Mr. Richard Onaga, the agency said the clean-up will hold between 07:00 and 10:00 local time.

The authority said enforcement activities would be relaxed during the exercise to allow the free movement of people and vehicles, noting that the adjustment was due to the nationwide NECO Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) taking place on the same day.

ESWAMA called on residents to ensure proper sanitation of their surroundings, including clearing of drainages, stressing that maintaining a clean environment remains a shared responsibility vital to public health, safety and environmental sustainability.

The agency also expressed appreciation for public cooperation and encouraged compliance with the exercise.
