“It would be noted that we shall begin to experience rainfall, hence the need to prepare ahead of time in order avert avoidable floods and loss of properties.

“It is imperative to implore residents in the State to take the daily sanitation exercise seriously, for a healthy environment is a function of wealthy society,” Oyeleke noted.
