Kano State Government has suspended the end-of-month environmental sanitation exercise for March 2025.
The State Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, Dr Dahiru Mohammad Hashim, announced the suspension to honor the upcoming Sallah celebration.
According to Dr. Hashim, the decision was made to allow residents to focus on the Sallah preparation, which is just around the corner.
He said the government deemed it fit to allow the influx of people from other states to the commercial hub during the festive season.
The Commissioner pointed out that the suspension of the sanitation exercise is a testament to the government’s dedication to balancing its responsibilities with the needs of the state.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner explained that the sanitation exercise on Friday for Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies MDAs, Motor Parks, and Market Places would still hold as usual on 28th March.
He said the ministry is committed to maintaining a clean and healthy environment but also recognizes the importance of cultural and religious celebrations of this nature.
The end-of-month sanitation exercise will resume in April 2025.
The ministry encourages residents to continue practicing good hygiene and sanitation habits during the suspension period and after.
