According to Gbadegesin, the exercise formed part of a broader strategy to strengthen its safety protocols and ensure that highway sweepers were adequately equipped and trained to carry out their duties in a safe and professional manner.
He emphasised that frontline sanitation workers operate in challenging environments and must be provided with the right knowledge, tools, and protective gear to minimise occupational risks and enhance productivity.
