In an effort to promote environmental cleanliness and safeguard public health, the Lagos State Government has sealed 13 markets across the state for persistent violations related to illegal waste disposal.
This was disclosed by the state’s Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, in a statement on his X handle on Friday.
Wahab said that the enforcement actions are in line with the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law of 2017, aimed at ensuring responsible waste management and maintaining public order.
Notably, Ketu and Mile 12 markets were sealed last night due to consistent violations, including the improper disposal of waste on roads, medians, and highways.
These actions have been deemed necessary to restore cleanliness and public safety in these busy commercial areas, according to Wahab. (Channels)
