 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 LAGOS TO MAKE WASTE SORTING AT SOURCE MANDATORY


The Lagos State Government is set to make waste sorting at source mandatory as part of a broader strategy to modernise waste management and unlock the economic value embedded in waste.


This was made known on Tuesday by the MD/CEO of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, while featuring on a TV programme, “The Conversation”, on LTV.


He said that the move, which aligned with global best practices, would be backed by a review of the enabling legal framework, currently underway, to provide the necessary regulatory support for compulsory separation of waste at the point of generation.


Under the new direction, waste will no longer be treated solely as a disposal challenge but as an economic resource, as the state is strengthening its waste-to-wealth agenda, positioning recycling and material recovery as key drivers of a more efficient and sustainable waste management system.


He explained that the new policy direction was in sync with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s vision of transitioning from a landfill-focused waste management system to one centred on material recovery and recycling.


This strategic shift is expected to reduce pressure on landfills, promote circular economy practices, and encourage private investment in recycling infrastructure.


"To support improved service delivery, the government is also considering mechanisms to assist Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators with access to new compactor trucks, recognising the capital-intensive nature of waste collection and the need to strengthen operational capacity across the system", he stated.


On service quality and accountability, Dr. Gbadegesin disclosed that sanctions would be implemented against 22 underperforming PSP operators following repeated warnings and performance reviews.


"This follows a similar decisive action in which 27 PSP operators were disengaged last year for failure to meet required service standards," he said.


He reiterated that the success of the initiative would depend on a combination of effective regulation, improved infrastructure, private sector participation, and responsible citizen behaviour, noting that waste sorting at source was fundamental to achieving a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient Lagos.
