The Lagos State government has made it clear that no court has stopped its monthly sanitation exercise. An official confirmed that rumors about a court ruling against the program are completely false.

The statement was issued to clear the confusion among residents who were unsure about the next clean-up date.

According to the state official, the sanitation exercise remains fully legal and active. There was no judgment from any court that invalidated or suspended the program.

The government urged citizens to ignore any fake news suggesting otherwise. Residents are expected to continue following the usual sanitation rules.

The clarification came after some social media posts claimed a court had blocked the exercise. These posts caused many people to question whether they still had to stay indoors on sanitation mornings.

The government said such claims are misleading and have no basis in law.

Lagos has held its monthly sanitation exercise for decades to keep the city clean. On the designated day, movement is restricted for a few hours while workers clean drains and roads. The government believes this routine has helped control flooding and reduce disease in the crowded city.

Officials have now asked all residents to cooperate fully with the next sanitation exercise. Those who violate the rules will still face penalties as stated in the law. The government promised to keep enforcing the program to maintain a cleaner and healthier Lagos for everyone.
