In celebration of World Clean-Up day, Lagos State University of Science and Technology’s (LASUSTECH) Students (Isolo Campus) have embarked on Clean-Up exercise across Isolo community and within the school premises.

Alongside  some other members of the community, the students had, on Saturday, carry out the Clean-Up exercise, which was organized by the National Youth Council of Nigeria (Isolo Local Branch) in partnership with CocaCola, GreenHill Recycling, Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), and Recycling Alliance.

According to the Director of Sport for the National Association of Polytechnic Accountancy Students (NAPAS), Owobu Osas, the exercise started at Isolo market where the students met with Iya Loja of Isolo.



The students also visited Asolo Palace, meeting with the King and some other groups of volunteers before returning to the school where the major clean-up was done.

Speaking on his experience, Osas described the exercise as eventful while also commending the effort of the SUJC’s Deputy Chief Judge, Moses Babatunde, for getting the  students engaged.

“It was very eventful as everyone was literally busy with one thing or the other. It was a lot fun that everyone were together sharing discussion with CocaCola media team before we return to our school. We felt that the work done at Isolo market was a little conducive for us as some of the market women did most of the cleaning. But when we got back to school, we found out that it was very dirty and that’s where did the main work. We started on a positive note as we had to clean the whole environment and ensure the environment is conducive and clean. It was just based on happiness- you doing things where you have your fellow students around you and attaining one goal which is to ensure the environment is very clean. That was a very lovely sight for me. Even being an executive, I love seeing people impactful in something. It was tiring for some people, but it was lovely.” He said.



According to NAPAS Social Director, Adesanya Oluwadamilare, the students were split into three groups for the cleaning of Isolo market.

“Getting to Isolo market, we were divided into three groups. The clean-up at the market was successful and fast because most dirt have been cleared and disposed three days ago.” He said

Also narrating his experience was Folarin Idris who claimed to be doing such exercise for the first time.

He, however, commended street cleaners, admitting that the exercise was a stressful one.

“The World Clean-up Day was so interesting and that was my first time of coming out to do such. It was somehow stressful, but we were dedicated to the exercise. Those women doing this are trying.” Folarin said.
