Govt educates children on environmental protection

Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency has partnered with the Lagos

State Parks and Garden Agency to educate children about environmental

protection in a day-long boot camp tagged ‘Eco Explorers Bootcamp.’

The boot camp, which was held on Saturday at the Dr. Oluyomi Abayomi

Finnih Park by Opebi Link Bridge, Lagos, was aimed at inspiring kids to

connect with and cherish the natural world while teaching them sustainable

environmental practices.

Speaking at the event, the General Manager of LASEPA, Dr Babatunde Ajayi,

explained that they were hoping to make sure that children imbibed the

knowledge of the environment and transmitted such knowledge to their

friends.

The Executive Assistant to the Governor on Environmental Protection,

Adebowale Tolulope, said the programme was an advocacy created for

children to learn more about environmental protection and to become

responsible for the environment, stressing that, at the boot camp, children

were taught how to protect natural resources like animals, and how to

recycle waste materials.
