The Lagos Waste Management Authority has intensified its ongoing environmental compliance enforcement across Lagos, sealing markets, shopping complexes, and commercial premises along the Ikotun-Igando axis.
This came as LAWMA issued notices of intention to seal markets, shops, and plazas along the Ojuelegba-Lawanson-Itire corridor.
The Director of Public Affairs at LAWMA, Mukaila Sanusi, disclosed this in a statement over the weekend, obtained by The PUNCH.
The statement explained that 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.”
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said the latest operation followed the notable improvement in environmental compliance recorded during last week’s enforcement exercise along the Yaba-Ojuelegba corridor.
