As the return of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise was, on Saturday, observed across Lagos State, the APC State Women Leader, Alhaja Rofiat Iyabosola Eletu, has called on women to position themselves as the primary architects of a healthier society.
Speaking
during the inaugural exercise at the Ikoyi-Obalende LCDA, alongside the First
Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, Eletu emphasized that the journey
toward a Greater Lagos begins at home.
She
argued that women, as the primary influencers within the family unit, hold the
key to long-term behavioral change in the state.
In her
own words, “If we can govern the hygiene of our households, we can surely
govern the hygiene of our streets. When we maintain a spotless home, we raise
children who value order. A clean home is a sanctuary that wards off disease
and fosters peace of mind.”
The
Women Leader closed her address with a rallying cry, urging every woman in
Lagos to pick up the mantle and refuse to tolerate filth in their communities.
Eletu
noted that taking charge of the environment today is an investment in the
health of future generations.
She
reminded citizens that the environmental sanitation exercise and care
must be a daily commitment.
“Cleanliness
is a lifestyle, not an event,” she concluded.
