 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew.

 LAWMA COMMENCES BULK WASTE EVACUATION ALONG LAGOS–BADAGRY EXPRESSWAY CORRIDOR


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has commenced a large-scale bulk waste evacuation exercise at Alaba Rago along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway, as part of a focused environmental sanitation drive aimed at restoring cleanliness and safeguarding public health along the busy corridor.


MD/ CEO of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin disclosed on Saturday that the Authority's Operations Team had deployed bulk waste carriers, loaders and support personnel to clear identified illegal dump sites in the area, explaining that the intervention formed part of a structured corridor-cleaning strategy designed to address recurring indiscriminate dumping and environmental degradation.


"Following the clean-up at Alaba Rago, the exercise will extend to Okokomaiko and the median around Lagos State University (LASU), both identified as priority locations due to heavy pedestrian and vehicular activity, as well as persistent sanitation challenges", he said.


He further disclosed that the operation would subsequently progress from Agric Bus Stop toward Mile 2, ensuring a systematic restoration of environmental standards across the entire Lagos–Badagry Expressway axis.


Dr. Gbadegesin emphasised that the ongoing evacuation exercise was not a one-off intervention but part of a sustained sanitation framework with sustainability strategy such as continuous monitoring, stakeholder engagement with traders and residents, intensified public sensitisation, and enforcement measures to prevent recurrence.


He reiterated the Authority’s commitment to maintaining a cleaner Lagos and urged residents, traders and motorists to desist from indiscriminate dumping of refuse, particularly along major highways and medians while assuring that enforcement and surveillance efforts would be strengthened to sustain cleanliness along the corridor and protect public health.
