While the official sanitation exercise will not take place, residents of Anambra State are encouraged to maintain cleanliness in their surroundings. They are advised to engage in personal efforts such as cleaning their immediate environment, clearing water channels, and properly packaging their waste for collection by the state’s waste management contractors. This approach ensures that despite the cancellation of the formal exercise, the state remains clean and well-managed.

 

The decision by the Anambra State Government reflects its commitment to prioritizing the well-being and participation of its young residents. By allowing children to fully engage in Children’s Day celebrations, the government sends a message of inclusivity and recognition of the importance of youth in the community.

 

As the cancellation takes effect, residents are reminded of their individual responsibilities to maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards. By actively contributing to the cleanliness of their surroundings, residents can support the government’s efforts to create a healthier and more sustainable environment for all.
