“The Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr Abraham Ojo expressed worry over non compliance while monitoring the sanitation exercise in Ilorin.

“Residents are to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations of the exercise and maintain cleanliness always,” the statement reads.

According to the statement, the ministry will begin a public health enlightenment programme to mobilise participation in the monthly sanitation exercise across the state.
