The delegates led by the Ekiti State Commissioner for the Environment, Mrs Tosin Aluko-Ajisafe, on Thursday, were received by the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab.
Wahab has expressed that his ministry is keen on working with the Ekiti state government in sustaining its environment.
The environmental commissioner said in a quoted statement: “knowledge sharing is essential for the development of any state that aspires to grow.”
“Wahab, who listed the agencies under the supervision of his ministry, said there was a synergy in place that had enabled high-level cooperation in achieving ministerial goals, urging Ekiti to replicate the same,” the statement said.
He, further, said: “The present administration is determined to migrate Lagos from the trajectory of a state with a dirty environment through sustained enforcement and series of advocacy campaigns to stakeholders.
“It is a reset system like a child that is used to taking milk mixed with honey and water. When you try to change the meal to ordinary water, he would resist but when it is for the good of the child, you would stand your ground, and that is leadership, taking him to where he ought to be.”
The motive was as a result of the strides the Lagos State government has achieved in managing its waste and as well sustaining the environment for safe habitation.
The Ekiti state government, has, however, expressed their confidence in the exercise which would enhance the sector in the state.
