With compactors strategically deployed by the LCDA to evacuate waste generated during the exercise, the clean-up didn’t just end on the streets, it was carried through to proper disposal, leaving no room for clutter or backlog.

What stood out most was the unity. Neighbours worked side by side, clearing drainages, sweeping roads, and restoring order to public spaces. It was a shared effort with a shared reward: a cleaner, safer Ojokoro.

Beyond the immediate sparkle, the benefits of this continuous monthly sanitation are already becoming evident.
