The Lagos State Government (LASG) on Friday lifted the restriction order on human and vehicular movements during this month’s environmental sanitation slated for Feb.27.
The order was to allow students, invigilators and other stakeholders participate effectively in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) organised by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the examination was expected to hold across the country on Saturday, February 27.
Mr Tunde Awobiyi, the Information Officer, Lagos State Ministry of the Environment, made this known in a statement he signed and released to newsmen on Friday.
The statement said that the Commissioner for the Environment, Dr Babatunde Adejare, had directed residents of the state to still observe the day by cleaning their homes and environments.
Adejare said that it became imperative for the state government to waive the restriction so as not to jeopardise the future of the candidates whose counterparts in other parts of the federation would write the same examination.
