The Lagos State Government on Thursday pledged its readiness to partner with Ekiti State on environmental sustainability as it played host to the State’s delegates from the Environment sector.

Speaking while receiving the guests led by Commissioner for the Environment in Ekiti State, Mrs. Tosin Aluko-Ajisafe, her counterpart in Lagos State, Tokunbo Wahab said knowledge sharing is essential to development for any state that aspires to grow.

He reiterated that whatever success might have been achieved in the environment sector in Lagos today has only been achieved through the tenacity of the leaders.

He said people are generally receptive to change, adding that the present campaign to sanitise the environment has received backlash from some people who see nothing wrong in a dirty and unorganised environment.

Wahab, who listed the Agencies under the supervision of the Ministry, said there is a synergy in place that has enabled a high level of cooperation in achieving ministerial goals, urging Ekiti to replicate the same.

He said the present administration is determined to migrate Lagos from the trajectory of a State with a dirty environment through sustained enforcement and a series of advocacy campaigns to stakeholders.
