 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...

 YULETIDE: LAWMA SEEKS RESPONSIBLE WASTE DISPOSAL 


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has announced its readiness to tackle the expected surge in waste generation across the metropolis during the Christmas festivities.


The Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, who gave the assurance on Monday in his office at Ijora Olopa, said the Authority had put measures in place to meet the waste management needs of residents during the Yuletide.


He said, “We have put adequate measures in place to address the increase in waste generation that comes with the festive season. Our teams are fully mobilised with trucks and personnel to ensure prompt collection and disposal of waste in all parts of Lagos. This is part of our commitment to making Lagos a clean and liveable city during and after the Christmas holidays.”


Gbadegesin noted that, as part of its operational strategies, LAWMA would deploy additional waste collection trucks and personnel to high-traffic areas, including markets, residential neighbourhoods, and commercial hubs, adding that the Authority would work relentlessly to address peak waste volumes and ensure all areas receive prompt attention.


“Our approach is comprehensive. We are committed to maintaining a clean environment during and after the celebrations. However, we need the cooperation of all residents to bag and containerise their waste properly, to facilitate efficient collection. Waste left unbagged often scatters causes low turnaround time and hazards for our sweepers and other road users”, he stated.


The LAWMA boss also reiterated the need for motorists to drive carefully and watch for sanitation workers, who will be working tirelessly to clean roads and highways during the festive period.


“Road safety is paramount. We appeal to motorists to exercise patience and caution, especially around our sweepers. They are dedicated to keeping Lagos clean, and their lives should be safeguarded at all times. Reckless driving endangers everyone, and we urge all road users to be mindful and responsible”, he said.


He further informed that LAWMA had intensified its public awareness campaigns, to educate residents on proper waste management, which included targeted radio programmes, press releases, and active engagement on social media platforms, all aimed at encouraging Lagosians to take responsibility for their waste.


“We are leveraging every available platform to sensitise Lagosians. Our goal is to establish a culture of cleanliness and responsibility, ensuring that waste is managed responsibly by every individual and household. This collective effort will significantly reduce environmental hazards and enhance waste collection efficiency”, he added.


While wishing residents a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, he assured them that the names and phone numbers of management staff members would be published for monitoring and complaints.


Residents are implored to call LAWMA toll-free numbers: 080000LAWMA (08000052962), 07080601020, and 617, or visit www.lawma.gov.ng for all waste management-related issues.
