This Present House, one of the expressions of the House of Freedom – a faith-based initiative, has partnered Lekki Estate Residents Association, Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and Lagos State Planning and Environmental Monitoring Agency (LASPEMA) to clean and beautify Freedom Way in Lekki, Lagos.

The cleanup was in line with the church’s social responsibility outreach mandate to the Lekki Community, which was sponsored by the church with donations of cleaning tools, protective gear and welfare materials for volunteers of the sanitation exercise.
