The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to environmental sustainability, dismissing viral claims that the city is “smelling.”
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, on Sunday, highlighted the state’s ongoing efforts to ensure a clean, resilient, and livable city through comprehensive environmental strategies.
Responding to recent social media claims, Wahab stated: “Lagos is not smelling; it is evolving—toward sustainable waste processing, modernized landfill management, cleaner waterways, and structured sanitation systems.”
He emphasized that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration is dedicated to building a cleaner and more sustainable city through strategic environmental initiatives, adding that tackling waste and sanitation challenges in a fast-growing megacity requires structural solutions, not political rhetoric.
