 LASG URGES RESIDENTS TO CONFORM WITH STATE IDENTIFICATION REGISTRATION PROCESS


The Lagos State Government on Thursday urged all residents to conform with the state's legal identification registration process in order for the Government to make adequate preparation in terms of infrastructure, health, education, environment as well as other sectors to accommodate the large influx of  people that come into the state on daily basis. 


Speaking while featuring on an X Space programme:, "Ask Lagos Live”, with the topic: "Lagos, Why People Keep coming and the Challenges" Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab appealed to residents to ensure they register with the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA), saying it will not only allow government to identify them but also plan for them. 


He said daily, about 6000 people come to lagos and about 3000 out of them come to stay, adding that in the past, it was not like that but the demography has shifted because of happenings in other parts of the country made people migrate majorly to Lagos. 


Speaking further, Wahab said the people come into the state daily, knowing fully well they have no shelter, but they come with the mindset of sleeping under the bridge, and they rob/attack innocent individuals during the day as well as at night. He said the state has its challenges in waste management because the state generates about 13,000 to 14,000 tons of municipal waste, which is the biggest in the sub-region, and the government is trying to migrate from a linear to a functional and sustainable waste management system right now. 


The Commissioner emphasised that this sustainability waste management is known as circular economy which is conversion of waste to wealth which  gives every individual the opportunity to make money from generated waste. 


Therefore, the government  remains focused to achieve and sustain it. He said it has been observed that people have the mindset of disposing of their waste illegally so they package the same from their homes and proudly dump it on the road median, open spaces, laybys and in the drainages/canals.


He stated that there has been the insinuation that Lagos smells, but noted, however, that this only happens where dumpsites are located within the state, and such places include Olusosun, Solus 3, stressing that the government is working on decommissioning these dumpsites in the next 18 months. 


 


 He explained that most people come into the state with the culture they are used to, being careless about the environment, as such, they openly defecate, forgetting the fact that the government has built over 1710 public toilets across the state, and the government has not stopped. He added that the total number of Toilets statewide is about  7000, including the ones available at various eateries and petrol stations, saying that with the availability of these facilities, people still choose to defecate openly. 


Wahab said the government would continue to ramp up its advocacy as well as ensure resilient infrastructure is put in place to accommodate the influx of people who come into Lagos on a daily basis. The Commissioner stated that most people who are not used to environmental sanitation come from another part of the country into Lagos, but the government would continue to ramp up its advocacy to meet up orientation and reorientation of newcomers.


He mentioned that the shanties on both side of the road of the ongoing coastal road construction have earlier been cleared but the miscreants have returned to the space, adding that before the end of the project, proper enforcement would have been done in the axis but abatement notices have already been served to them on different occasions to vacate the area. 


He also spoke about the ban on Single Use Plastic based on the health implications, adding that enforcement of the ban will officially begin in July after about an 18-month window given to manufacturers to mop up and redirect their products to conform with the ban on SUPs.


“Other items banned in the single-use plastics category are plastic straws, plastic cutlery and all single-use carrier bags and nylons that have less than 40 micron thickness”, he stated
