In a bid to enhance the cleanliness and hygiene of its environment, the Kebbi State government has announced plans to reintroduce monthly environmental sanitation starting from April 27th. This decision was revealed by the Kebbi State Commissioner for Environment, Alhaji Musa Muhammad-Tungulawa, during a meeting with the state Task Force on Health and Environmental Sanitation Committee in Birnin Kebbi.
The commissioner emphasized that the re-introduction of monthly sanitation efforts aims to complement the ongoing initiatives by Governor Nasir Idris to beautify the state. He stressed the importance of securing a clean environment for human habitation, highlighting that the beautification efforts would be futile without ensuring environmental cleanliness.
The meeting served as a platform to assess the current activities of the committee and devise strategies to fulfill its mandate effectively. Commissioner Tungulawa pledged to review the monthly allowances of committee members and proposed a review of the environmental laws to enhance their effectiveness.

It was unanimously agreed during the meeting that the last Saturday of every month would be designated for environmental sanitation, commencing from April 27th. The initiative will commence in the state capital and later extend to other local government areas.
In addition, there was a consensus on the necessity for an intensive awareness campaign to educate the public on the significance of environmental sanitation.
This move by the Kebbi State government underscores its commitment to promoting cleanliness and ensuring the well-being of its citizens.
