The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment... to environmental enforcement with the arrest of Mr. Ogunbadejo Olawale, a resident of No 25, Ajiboye Street, Alapere, Ketu, for illegal waste dumping. The arrest was effected by a joint enforcement operation carried out by the operatives of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI), following credible surveillance and tip-offs from members of the community. The offender was caught red-handed disposing refuse indiscriminately in public, thereby undermining the government’s efforts toward achieving a cleaner and more hygienic Lagos. His arrest is a clear demonstration of the state’s resolve to enforce environmental laws and restore sanity to public spaces. The suspect will immediately be prosecuted in accordance with the relevant law of the State. Dear Lagosians, your support and vigilance are the backbone of our success so far. Together, we are building a city that will not only be resilient and sustainable but one that our children will be proud to inherit. The Lagos State Government assures the public that it will continue to protect the environment through proactive enforcement, community engagement, and sustained advocacy, all aimed at achieving the vision of a #CleanerLagos The Lagos State Govtshow more

Crossing the highway is an offence in Lagos State.... Lagos State government has given a marching order to the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) Marshall and other law enforcement officials to arrest anyone crossing the highway and then charge them to court immediately. PLEASE use the pedestrian bridges across the State. #ZeroToleranceLagosshow more

This waste was traced to Dowen College in Lekki... Phase 1. Such disregard for environmental laws is unacceptable. Corps Marshall of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps have been directed to proceed with sealing the premises. We will not hesitate to take firm action against any institution or organisation that violates our waste management regulations. Lagos must remain clean, safe and healthy for all residents, and enforcement will continue without compromise. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagosshow more

While we continue to arrest and prosecute defaulters in... accordance with the law, it is important to emphasise that lasting change goes beyond enforcement. Doing the right thing should not depend on the presence of enforcement officers. Environmental responsibility must become a personal and collective culture. Taking ownership of our environment means using available public toilets, discouraging open defecation, keeping public spaces clean, and holding one another accountable. A cleaner Lagos is not built only through enforcement, but through everyday decisions made by residents who understand that public hygiene protects everyone. When we act responsibly, even in the absence of enforcement teams, we move closer to building a cleaner, healthier, and more dignified Lagos for all. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagosshow more

[ONGOING] #KeepLagosClean #LAWMACares #LagosBadagryExpressway #AlabaRago #Okokomaiko #LASU #Mile2 Bulk... waste evacuation has commenced at Alaba Rago along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway as part of a focused environmental sanitation drive to restore cleanliness and protect public health. LAWMA Operations Team has deployed bulk waste carriers, loaders, and support teams to clear identified illegal dump sites. From Alaba Rago, operations will extend to Okokomaiko and the median around Lagos State University (LASU), priority locations due to heavy pedestrian/vehicular activity and recurring indiscriminate dumping. Next, the clean-up will progress from Agric Bus Stop toward Mile 2, ensuring steady restoration of the entire corridor. This is not a one-off evacuation. It includes continuous monitoring, stakeholder engagement with traders and residents, sustained public sensitisation, and enforcement to prevent reoccurrence and keep the axis clean.

Yesterday, while passing through Fadeyi Road, I saw someone... dumping refuse illegally and had to stop to document it. I also raised concerns about the growing heap of waste at the location. Today, I passed by again and was pleased to see LAWMA already clearing the site. Kudos to Tokunbo Wahab, LAWMA and the Lagos environmental team for the swift response. Let’s all do our part. It makes no sense to clear the area today and return tomorrow to dump refuse there again.

As part of our sustained efforts to eliminate open... defecation and improve public sanitation across Lagos State, we currently have 1,710 functioning public toilets strategically located across the state for residents and visitors. However, government cannot do this alone. We are encouraging businesses such as filling stations, banks, eateries, and other public-facing facilities to make their restrooms accessible to the public where possible. This collaborative approach will significantly complement government efforts and expand access to sanitation facilities across the state. At the same time, we continue to enforce environmental sanitation laws. Individuals caught engaging in open defecation are being arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law. These measures are necessary to protect public health, preserve dignity, and maintain a cleaner environment for all. Access to sanitation is a shared responsibility. While government continues to expand infrastructure, residents and businesses must also play their part in ensuring Lagos remains clean, safe, and habitable. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagosshow more

A total of 115 street beggars were arrested today... across various locations in the State during the ongoing enforcement operations. In addition, 26 members of the notorious ‘Omotaku’ group who were apprehended from different parts of Lagos within the last 24 hours, were arraigned before the Magistrate Court in Oshodi. They pleaded guilty to the charges brought against them and were sentenced to three (3) months’ imprisonment in accordance with the law. This action reinforces the State Government’s firm stance against activities that threaten public safety, order, and the effective use of public spaces. Enforcement efforts will continue across the State to ensure compliance with existing laws and to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all Lagosians. #ZeroToleranceLagosshow more

Earlier today, we received a report that a woman... identified as Mrs. McCarthy, of No. 56 Adaranijo Street, Pedro, Shomolu, allegedly encouraged her child to dispose of refuse into a covered drainage channel. Following the report, our enforcement officers promptly carried out an investigation, which led to her arrest for violating the State’s environmental laws. We expect every resident to act responsibly and to educate their children on the importance of protecting public infrastructure, particularly drainage systems. Encouraging acts that contribute to blocked drains and environmental degradation is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. A clean, safe, and flood-resilient environment is a shared responsibility. We urge all residents to dispose of waste properly and support the collective effort to keep Lagos clean. #ZeroToleranceLagosshow more

What a realm of animals. Can you picture the... Lagos State government employing hoodlums and area boys at Oshodi collect fees for using a pedestrian bridge owned by the government? A few of the “Agberos” mentioned that the Lagos State government established their role with the charges they are collecting there. A few police officers are also loitering around the area and will receive their share too.
