TERMINAL OPERATOR LEADS APAPA CLEAN-UP DRIVE

A terminal operator has led a clean-up exercise in Apapa, Lagos, as part of efforts to improve sanitation and promote a cleaner environment around the busy port community.

The exercise brought together workers and other stakeholders who participated in clearing waste and improving the condition of public areas within the Apapa axis.

The initiative is expected to contribute to better environmental conditions in the area, which hosts major port and logistics activities and experiences heavy daily traffic.

Organisers said maintaining a clean environment around the port is important for workers, businesses, residents, and other users of the area.

The clean-up also highlights the role of private-sector organisations in supporting government efforts to improve sanitation and environmental management in Lagos.

Stakeholders stressed the need for residents, businesses, and transport operators to adopt responsible waste disposal practices and avoid indiscriminate dumping.

They also called for sustained collaboration between businesses, government agencies, and local communities to ensure that sanitation efforts have a lasting impact.

The terminal operator reaffirmed its commitment to supporting initiatives that promote environmental sustainability and improve the well-being of communities around its operations.

The exercise forms part of broader efforts to maintain cleaner and safer surroundings within the Apapa port environment.
