As part of its commitment to building a sustainable planet, Lafarge Africa Plc has commemorated the 2023 World Clean Up Day and advocated for a cleaner environment.

Championed by its Geocycle team and in conjunction with the Lagos Recyclers Association, the company embarked on clean-up exercises at the popular Tejuosho Market in Lagos and Olabisi Onabanjo Market in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, to commemorate the day.

Head Commercial Manager of Geocycle, Lafarge Africa Plc, Temitope Dosumu, in a statement, commended everyone for coming together and heeding the call to creating a cleaner environment.

She said, ‘Today’s exercise is to sensitise people about the need to ensure a clean environment, clean up litter from the market and rid it of trash and mismanaged wastes. We all have the responsibility to keep our environment clean and Lafarge Africa is not left out as we remain committed to promoting a sustainable environment through our unique and innovative solutions to the problems of waste.”
