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.

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

[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.

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

Beggars constituting environmental and public nuisance were arrested yesterday... along the Lekki–Epe Expressway and other surrounding areas. These enforcement actions are part of our ongoing efforts to restore order, protect public spaces, and ensure a cleaner and safer Lagos.

Lagos must work for everyone, and public spaces cannot be allowed to degenerate into zones of disorder. #CleanerLagosshow more

Let's address an obvious hypocrisy, shall we? Hello Mr.... Tokunbo, Tokunbo Wahab, take a look at these two posts very carefully; One is a 56 years old man dumping refuse in the gutters, and the other are people who likely works for the govt, doing even worse by dumping garbage into the sea by throwing them over the bridge in the same Lagos. Now kindly explain to the public why the 56 years old man was arrested, but that of the govt officials was only addressed internally? Or the one being done at the bridge isn't a "violation of environmental laws" under your leadership?show more

The operation covered Maryland and the entire length of Ikorodu Road where some undesirable elements numbering up to 6 were arrested and taken to the office for prosecution. All suspects will be arraigned as soon as possible. #ZeroToleranceLagosshow more

This is exactly why I keep saying, Lets focus... on the basics before chasing mega projects because of our population 😢🥺💔 Just look at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. A multi-billion-naira piece of infrastructure built under Fashola, properly maintained under Ambode, and now showing signs of neglect, with grass literally growing around parts of the bridge. How did we get here? I appreciate the infrastructure this administration is trying to build, but what is the point of new projects when the infrastructure we already have is deteriorating? Lagos needs a serious maintenance culture. Fix the roads, clean the city, enforce environmental standards, landscape public spaces and maintain existing infrastructure before embarking on endless ribbon-cutting projects. Road infrastructure and environmental aesthetics can transform Lagos way more in this digital age. They improve quality of life, attract global tourism, unlock investment and make skilled Nigerians and foreigners want to stay, invest and bring their families here. Investors don't just need mega projects; they need a city that is clean, functional, safe and pleasant to live in. And I understand that infrastructure is expensive, especially with today's exchange rate. That is why Govt should also consider bringing back tolls on suitable roads and using the revenue specifically for maintenance. Lagos has the population, talent, investment, connectivity and economic potential. What it needs is disciplined management. Success attracts both people who want to build and those who want to exploit or destroy; government must protect the city while supporting those contributing positively to it. So, to the current governor: Sir please, look around Lagos before you leave office. You have done things worth appreciating, but the environmental and maintenance decline needs urgent attention. Leave the next administration a city that is properly maintained, not one where infrastructure built by previous governments is allowed to deteriorate. And to whoever becomes governor in 2027: please sir make maintenance, roads, environmental aesthetics, law and order your priority before chasing more mega projects. Give Lagos a clean, beautiful and functional environment, and you will have a legacy people can actually see and feel. Lagos has not reached its prime. We can build on what we already have and make it even better than the Lagos of Fashola and Ambode.
