LASG SEALS MARKETS WITHIN TRADE FAIR COMPLEX OVER ENVIRONMENTAL INFRACTIONS



…Reiterates Commitment to Zero Tolerance for Reckless Waste Disposal


The Lagos State Government has sealed markets within Trade Fair Complex, located at Lagos-Badagry expressway, Ojo, over a series of environmental infractions, particularly improper waste disposal, burning of waste, which had raised concerns about public health and the well-being of people in the area.


The enforcement was carried out in partnership with Lagos Task Force on Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC).


The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, expressed the state government's unalloyed commitment to maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment for all residents, noting that such enforcement measures were essential to safeguarding public health and ensuring a high quality of life for Lagosians.


"We cannot compromise on environmental standards. The closure of some markets within Trade Fair Complex is a necessary step to rectify the infractions that have persisted in the area. We are dedicated to restoring the environment and ensuring the well-being of residents.


He stated that the enforcement action served as a clear message that environmental compliance was non-negotiable in Lagos State, adding that it reinforced the state government's zero tolerance policy and commitment to fostering a sustainable and livable environment for all residents.


Speaking further, he said the move followed the recent closure of markets that have been found in violation of environmental laws, such as Ladipo, Alamutu, Plazas in Tejuosho, Oyingbo, Mile 12, and Oke-Odo markets, underscoring government’s determination to enforce environmental laws that promote a cleaner and healthier cityscape.


The Managing Director/CEO of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, emphasised LAWMA's commitment to collaborating with relevant stakeholders to ensure proper waste management practices across markets in the state.


"It is imperative that we all take responsibility for our environment. We are ready to provide the necessary support and expertise to ensure that our markets and communities adhere to the highest environmental standards," Gbadegesin said.


He condemned in totality the practice of refuse burning in open places, cautioning on the adverse effect such would have on human health, and urged residents to imbibe the culture of waste containarisation, as well as patronising assigned PSP operators.


For waste management related issues in your area, call LAWMA toll-free numbers: 07080601020 and 617.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
