 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

 INDISCRIMINATE WASTE DUMPING: 40 ENVIRONMENTAL OFFENDERS BAG FINES, COMMUNITY SERVICE



The Environmental Special Offences Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, has handed down fines and community service penalties, to 40 environmental offenders, found guilty of indiscriminate waste disposal.


The presiding magistrate underscored the gravity of the offences and impact on the environment, subsequently imposing a fine of ₦30,000 on each offender, with an option of six hours of community service, in designated areas like the General Hospital, Odan, and Tinubu Market in Lagos Island.


Managing Director/CEO of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, expressed the Authority's commitment to enforcing the zero-tolerance policy for indiscriminate waste dumping. 


He said, "The verdict aligns with our unwavering commitment to creating a cleaner and healthier environment for all residents of Lagos. We cannot overemphasise the importance of responsible waste disposal in safeguarding public health and preserving our surroundings."


Dr. Gbadegesin highlighted the need to promote a culture of responsible waste disposal, calling on residents to support efforts of the state government to make the environment sustainably clean, by disposing of their waste appropriately using covered bins, adding that lack of waste containers in homes gave rise to indiscriminate waste dumping. 


He said, "The penalties handed down by the court reflect the seriousness with which we view indiscriminate waste dumping. Stiffer penalties await environmental offenders, both individuals and corporate bodies, as the Authority enforces the zero-tolerance policy. 


We encourage residents to take personal responsibility for their waste and dispose of it appropriately. It is important that people put their waste in covered bins, as this would reduce the challenge of indiscriminate dumping in the metropolis. Together, we can create a cleaner and more sustainable Lagos”.


Since the recent enforcement against indiscriminate waste disposal began, over 160 persons had been arrested and convicted with appropriate fines or an option of community service, at locations designated by the magistrate’s court.
