CATE, Waka-about in Clean-Up campaign

Children And The Environment (CATE), foremost Nigerian NGO which focuses on creating environmental health awareness and promoting eco-tourism amongst young people, in partnership with Waka-about Media, publishers and promoters of culture and tourism in Nigeria, will on Saturday 18 October hold a Beach Cleanup exercise with 100 volunteers in the Lekki area of Lagos.

The programme, tagged “Let’s Cleanup & Greenup Okun Alfa Beach”, is part of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative of both partnering outfits and is aimed at educating participants on the need to help communities keep the beach clean and beautiful.

The Cleanup exercise will also sensitise participants on guarding against the negative effects arising from Climate Change, as well as ensure that these environments are sustainable and continue to serve as places both people and wildlife can use safely.

The slogan for the one-day exercise is: ‘Stage a Rebellion against Trash – Raise Your Voice, Not The Sea Level!’

Participants are expected to meet at Ikeja for 8:00 a.m. at Forte Oil Petrol Station, Oba Akran Avenue; Surulere for 9:00 a.m. at Mr. Bigg’s, Masha Roundabout/Ogunlana Drive and at Lekki for 10:00 a.m. at first roundabout.
