The Impactful Futures Initiative (IFI), a non-governmental organization, has urged residents of Ilasamaja in Lagos State to prioritize environmental cleanliness to prevent disease outbreaks.

This call was made during a sensitization program held on September 20, 2025, to commemorate World Cleanup Day.

Speaking at the sensitization program,the founder of IFI, Comrade Sikiru Akibu (Zinko), encouraged residents to develop a habit of regularly cleaning their surroundings, highlighting the global theme of Textile and Fashion Waste.

Investigator news reports that the advocacy featured a clean-up exercise along several streets, including Aladesanyin, Ifelodun, and Baale, where participants picked litter, filled potholes, and raised awareness on converting waste to cash.

Acknowledging the efforts of the NGO,the Baale of Ilasamaja Kingdom, Alhaji High Chief Fatai Aberejo, praised the initiative, noting that a dirty environment promotes the spread of diseases like diarrhea, malaria, typhoid, and cholera,the latter of which recently affected parts of Lagos.

Investigator news gathered that the Impactful Futures Initiative aims to promote peace, unity, integrity, and equity in the community.
