Did you know that every snare removed is a victory for nature? At TotalEnergies Uganda, we’re taking action by partnering with WCS Uganda Program, and Uganda Wildlife Authority, to locate and remove these hidden dangers before they claim more animal lives. It’s part of our commitment to protecting the Murchison Falls Conservation Area ecosystem, and to ensuring that future generations inherit a thriving natural heritage. ActingForSustainability

We cannot allow the destruction of the vital Namugongo swamp under our watch. National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) must act decisively to stop this and ensure the swamp is fully reclaimed. The President Yoweri K Museveni stands firmly against such impunity. People’s properties and nearby roads are at great risk who will compensate them when they are destroyed? Let’s protect our environment, NEMA. Arrest the developer no one is above the law. If this is permitted, then those evicted from Lubigi should also be allowed back. Let’s not practice double standards.

I'm excited to share the new look of Agege Pen Cinema! Our team from the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources has transformed this area into a model of environmental sustainability. I was delighted to be informed of a cool and calm atmosphere throughout the site - a direct result of our relentless efforts to maintain high standards of cleanliness and environmental management. A special shout-out to Comr. Olaide Oladeebo Okadigbo and his team, who have successfully zeroed-out the black spot along the railway track. Their dedication ensures we uphold a zero-tolerance policy for any practices that compromise our environment. Together, we’re making meaningful strides in enhancing public spaces and setting a benchmark for environmental excellence. I thank all our personnel for their hard work and commitment. Let’s continue working together to ensure that Lagos remains a beacon of cleanliness and sustainable development. #CleanerLagos #ZeroTolerance

The operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps today monitored the Agege Pen Cinema Bridge and adjacent railway track—a clear statement to our commitment to environmental sustainability. Our dedicated teams have been actively patrolling this corridor, and we have successfully apprehended environmental offenders constituting environmental nuisance in the area. These offenders were duly tried and have now been sentenced to community service, reinforcing our zero-tolerance policy for any actions that compromise our shared environment. Together, we are ensuring that every corner of Lagos, including key infrastructures like Agege Pen Cinema Bridge, remains a model of sustainability and order. #CleanerLagos #SustainableCity #ZeroTolerance

NATURE IS NOT THE PROBLEM,HUMANS ARE. Environmental destruction is caused by human actions such as pollution, poor waste disposal, and the misuse of natural resources. The consequences eventually return to us through polluted water, flooding, disease, and the loss of healthy ecosystems. The before-and-after scenes displayed by Buzstopboys powerfully illustrate this message. The “before” reveals the impact of neglect on nature and water bodies, while the “after” shows how collective action and respect for the environment can restore them. Our work is a reminder that when we protect nature and our water bodies, we are ultimately protecting human life.

The contrasts are stark. While some communities struggle for clean air, water and dignified living conditions, others continue to consume far beyond the limits of what our planet can sustain. It is time to stop treating environmental action as an optional extra. It is time to move beyond token gestures and towards meaningful change. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let us remember that every choice we make has an impact on nature, on the climate, and on each other. Some things we can all do: 🌿 Refuse single-use plastics and avoid unnecessary plastic consumption. 🌿 Segregate and manage waste at source. 🌿 Waste less. Consume mindfully. 🌿 Protect forests, trees, wetlands and natural ecosystems. 🌿 Support organisations working for wildlife conservation and environmental protection. 🌿 Work with local authorities and communities to scale solutions that restore ecosystems and build resilience. 🌿 Invest in businesses and innovations that place people and planet at the heart of progress. These are some of the things I try to do. Some of the things we can all do. The environment is not separate from us. It is the source of every breath we take, every meal we eat, every drop of water we drink. Let us not look away from reality. Let us act with courage, urgency and hope. For nature. For climate. For our future. #WorldEnvironmentDay #NowForClimate #PlanetStartsWithPeople #SDGs #GlobalGoals #BeatPollution #ActNow #ForNature

Today, I met with the Acting Chairman of Agege Local Government, Hon. Ganiu Obasa in company of other heads of agencies, permanent secretaries and directors, to strengthen collaboration between the State and Local Governments on environmental sustainability and waste management. Our discussion focused on how to move from a linear waste system, where we simply pick and drop, to a circular system where waste becomes a resource. This is the future we are building for Lagos. We agreed that real progress in achieving a cleaner, flood-free, and sustainable Lagos must begin at the grassroots. The Local Governments and LCDAs play a critical role in ensuring that every household, market, and street supports the State’s vision for a cleaner environment. As part of our action points: Environmental Health Officers will work directly with LAWMA to strengthen enforcement and ensure prompt waste collection. LASPARK will support identified areas in Agege with greenery and beautification. Drainage engineers attached to the LGA will provide technical support on flooding and channel maintenance. This partnership is a reminder that sustainability is a shared responsibility. Together, we can build the cleaner, safer, and more resilient Lagos we all deserve. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagos

Exactly 63 Years a go a journey of self management started for Uganda. Today we celebrate not just a date but the resilience of our people, the power of culture, and the heartbeat of our nation. From our rich histories in every corner of Uganda to the vibrant streets where music and art fuel ambition, Uganda stands strong. As President of the Uganda National Musicians Federation and Senior Presidential Advisor on Creatives, I see daily how creativity fuels growth, unity, and hope. Our future is bright when every artist, musician, and creator has a fair stage, protection for their work, and a stronger voice at the table. I honor the courage, visionary leadership, and steadfast resolve of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, whose long journey with Uganda has steered us through many challenges towards opportunity and growth. May his continued commitment inspire us all to build a more prosperous, peaceful, and an INCLUSIVE nation. Let’s invest in studios, schools, and corridors of collaboration. Let’s patronize local art, defend our IP, and build an Uganda where culture leads sustainable prosperity. Let’s Celebrate our diversity, champion our artists, and keep the rhythm of Uganda alive and pushing it to the world stage. #Uganda #IndependenceDay #Creatives #TogetherForTheMusic #EddyKenzo #UNMF #CultureLeader #NationBuilding

I am in Kenya for a two-day working visit together with Hon. Ministers of State, Gen. David Muhoozi (Internal Affairs) and Amos Lugoloobi (Finance), as well as Mr. Robert Mukiza, the Director General of the Uganda Investment Authority. On arrival, I met with Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary, H.E. Musalia Mudavadi, in Nairobi. We held constructive discussions on the warm bilateral relations between our two countries.

Across the State right now, LAWMA intervention trucks are working side by side with waste compactors from our Local Government Councils and I am pleased to confirm that they are actively collecting and evacuating every bag, every pile, and every debris generated during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise. This collaboration between LAWMA and the Local Government Councils is exactly the kind of synergy we envisioned when we reinstated this exercise because waste management must be a shared responsibility from the state level right down to the grassroots. I commend the swift response of our teams on the field and I assure every Lagosian that we will not rest until the entire city is clean, cleared, and safe. This is the operational backbone of our commitment to a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.

Today marks another pivotal moment in our journey to transform waste management in Lagos. I had the honour of facilitating the signing of a landmark agreement between the Lagos State Government and ZoomLion Nigeria, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group. This partnership is a bold step forward in our collective effort to overhaul how we manage the over 13,000 tonnes of waste generated daily in our state. For decades, the Olusosun dumpsite has stood as a symbol of the burden of uncontrolled urban waste. Through this new agreement, we are on the cusp of a major breakthrough. A state-of-the-art Transfer Loading Station will be constructed at Olusosun, serving as a central hub to redirect 2,500 tonnes of daily waste to a newly planned Material Recovery Facility in Ikorodu. This will allow us to permanently close Olusosun - a move that not only improves public health and safety but also significantly reduces the environmental impact of open dumping. In Igando, the Solous III dumpsite will also witness a major shift. With a new recovery facility planned for Badagry, we’ll be relocating 1,500 tonnes of waste daily; showing our commitment to decentralising and modernising waste handling in Lagos. What excites me most is the impact this will have beyond cleaner streets. Over 5,000 jobs, both direct and indirect will be created through this project. From waste processing technicians to logistics and facility maintenance staff, we are opening up a whole new ecosystem around waste recovery and circular economy opportunities. At the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, we’ve always believed that Lagos’ environmental future must be built on innovation, collaboration, and a firm resolve to act. We remain committed to seeing this through and will continue to provide updates as we move from agreement to action with the assurance of the project completion in 18 months. #CleanerLagos #AGreaterLagosRising
