Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has called on Muslims in the state to offer prayers for greater peace, unity and continuous progress of Nigeria.
This is in the spirit of celebrating the Eid-el-Maulud, which is the birth of Prophet Muhammed.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Habib Aruna, Governor Ambode enjoined Muslims to follow the exemplary leadership of the Holy Prophet Muhammed by promoting peaceful co-existence among the various segments of the society.
Governor Ambode implored Lagosians to shun ethnic, political, religious differences and work towards building a safer and better society.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government has lifted the order restricting vehicular and human movement during the December monthly environmental sanitation exercise expected to come up on Saturday, December 26.
The order is to allow free movement of persons during the end of the year festive seasons.
In a press release, the State Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare, urged residents to still observe the monthly exercise and clean up their homes and immediate environment, irrespective of the lifting of the restriction order which is only for the month of December.
The Commissioner also gave the assurance that the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) is fully mobilized and would deploy men and equipment to ensure quick evacuation of waste generated during the festive period.
