The Kwara State Government has lifted movement restrictions during Saturday’s environmental sanitation exercise to enable movement of candidates scheduled to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock examination.

This was contained in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the state Ministry of Environment, Shakirat Muritala.

Ms Muritala quoted the Commissioner for Environment, Nafisat Musa-Buge, as saying the sanitation exercise on Saturday would hold between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., during which vehicular and human movement would be permitted.

Ms Musa-Buge said that the modified sanitation exercise became necessary to allow students sitting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock examination to access their centres in different parts of the state.

“I charge members of the public to utilise the opportunity of the period to clean both residential and business environments with a view to sustaining a clean and safe environment across the state.

“Waste evacuation trucks would be made available for waste collection and subsequent disposal at the approved dump site,” she said.
