2. Community Sanitation Exercise

Date: 29th November 2024
Route: Oke-Iyinmi →Ojumose →Ewi’s Palace →Car Park/Bus Terminal →Fayose Market

In a bid to contribute to environmental cleanliness and public health, we organized a community sanitation exercise covering major landmarks in the city. During the exercise, we cleaned roads and public spaces, removing dirt and waste to enhance the aesthetic and sanitary conditions of the environment.
Highlights of the exercise included:

Engagement with Community Leaders: We interacted with key community leaders along the route, including a high Chief at the Ewi’s Palace. They commended our initiative, acknowledging our dedication to community service and scoring our efforts positively.

Meeting with the Commissioner for Environment: On the sidelines of the exercise, we had the privilege of engaging with the Commissioner for Environment. He praised our efforts, describing them as exemplary, and encouraged other youths to emulate our commitment to community progress.

To ensure sustainability, Ekiti Zonal President in person of Mr. Babatunde Ademola Ojo addressed members at the conclusion of the exercise, emphasizing the need for quarterly community cleanups. This will allow us to extend the impact of this initiative to other areas.
