Lagos state government says it would
be appealing the court ruling by a Federal High court banning the restriction
of movement during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in the
state.Speaking on the ban, the state Attorney-general and Commissioner for
justice, Ade Ipaye, said the state government was not satisfied with the court
ruling and would be appealing it.
"We are, of course, not satisfied with that decision of the federal high
court looking at the density of Lagos being the highest population in
Nigeria.
This exercise and our sanitation
programme in general have made Lagos the envy of other states, many of whom
have sent their officials to understudy it. We strongly believe that it is a
necessary rule in a society such as ours. We are therefore filing an appeal
immediately.” he said
Also speaking, the state Solicitor
general, Lawal Pedro said a notice of appeal has been filed and would be sent
to the federal high court
