Catholic Priests Not Like ‘Fake Bishops’, Atiku Blasts Presidency’s Attack On Onaiyekan Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the Presidency’s attack on the Catholic Church and John Cardinal Onaiyekan, accusing the President Bola Tinubu administration of growing intolerant of dissent and uncomfortable truths. In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu on Sunday, Atiku said the Presidency chose intimidation and political attacks instead of reflecting on the substance of the cleric’s message. Catholic bishops had recently had an engagement with the president, where the latter defended his record and the independence of the electoral umpire. However, the cardinal in a television interview on Friday said the Catholic bishops told the president that the country is bleeding and the economy is not helping poor citizens. According to him, Tinubu and his officials present at the meeting were “not l...

 LAWMA SCALES UP ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT, SEALS DEFAULTING MARKETS, SHOPS IN IKOTUN-IGANDO


… Issues Fresh Compliance Notices Along Ojuelegba-Lawanson-Itire Corridor


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has intensified its ongoing environmental compliance enforcement across Lagos, sealing markets, shopping complexes and commercial premises along the Ikotun-Igando axis, while issuing notices of intention to seal markets, shops and plazas along the Ojuelegba-Lawanson-Itire corridor.


The enforcement exercise, carried out on Saturday by LAWMA's Project WISE West team, targeted commercial premises along the LASU-Igando Road corridor in Alimosho Local Government Area, following persistent indiscriminate dumping of refuse on the road median despite repeated default notices, sustained environmental advocacy and notices of intention to seal.


Speaking on the development, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said that the exercise was a follow-up to the significant improvement recorded in environmental compliance along the Yaba-Ojuelegba corridor, following this week's enforcement operations, noting that the intervention had helped restore environmental order and improve sanitation within the area.


He explained that, encouraged by the positive outcome, the Authority had extended the exercise to other identified corridors across the state, while commencing the issuance of notices of intention to seal markets, shops and plazas along the Ojuelegba-Lawanson-Itire corridor as part of ongoing compliance measures.


As part of Saturday's enforcement operation, LAWMA sealed Owode Market, Omo Oba Shopping Complex, Oja Oba Market, Irewolede Market, Egan Junction Market, BoA Shopping Complex, Blissful Electronics Stores, as well as several other defaulting shops and commercial premises for environmental sanitation violations.


"The affected markets, shopping complexes and commercial premises will remain under seal until all stipulated environmental compliance conditions have been fully met and the Authority is satisfied that adequate corrective measures have been implemented," Dr. Gbadegesin stated.


He stressed that indiscriminate waste disposal on road medians, drainage channels and other unauthorised locations constituted a violation of the environmental laws of Lagos State and would continue to attract the appropriate sanction.


The LAWMA boss urged traders, market associations, property owners and business operators to maintain proper sanitation around their premises, patronise only their assigned PSP operators and desist from indiscriminate waste disposal, adding that environmental cleanliness remained a shared responsibility.


He reaffirmed the Authority's commitment to combining sustained public enlightenment with firm enforcement to promote responsible environmental behaviour, protect public infrastructure and sustain a cleaner, healthier and more liveable Lagos.
