THIS IS IMPUNITY AND IT MUST BE STOPPED! Yesterday, I received a complaint from a company located next to the illegal dumping site along Likoni Road. They reported that after months of peace following the closure of the dumping site when I was serving as the Chief Officer for...

Not only is Gavin Newsom allowing Mexico to drain 22 billion gallons of raw sewage into America but Mexico is also dumping their trash California Rep Carl DeMaio exposes “Mexico has been quietly dumping thousands and thousands of tons of their garbage on our side of the border” “This is something you're not hearing from the liberal media, even though they claim to be pro-environment. The government of Mexico has been quietly dumping thousands and thousands of tons of their garbage on our side of the border. This comes after we've already caught them dumping millions and millions of gallons of their sewage into our beaches and our bays. A state legislator representing the border community down here in San Diego. And I just fired off a request to the US federal government for a federal investigation into the illegal dumping of this garbage on our side of the border. It's not fair that our environment gets contaminated by the trash dumped by the Mexican government. And it doesn't seem that Governor Newsom or any of the Democrat politicians that run our state have any care about the environment or the impact to taxpayers, because now we have to pick up all this trash at our expense and put it in our landfills and we don't have a whole lot of space left in our landfills. So I'm calling for a federal investigation by the US EPA and the International Border Environmental Agency to get to the bottom of this and to sanction Mexico if they keep dumping their sewage and their garbage on our side of the border.” “Gavin Newsom and Democrat politicians talk about being pro-environment, why are you letting Mexico dump sewage and now garbage on our side of the border? It's insane.”

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

INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal miners’ chairman, popularly known as “CD.” Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns ₦12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

We cannot legalize an illegality under the guise of a "hustle." Your hustle must not compromise the rights of others by polluting their environment. We must all join this online campaign to educate the public on the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment. All waste from households, companies, and any other garbage-generating establishments must be transported to the designated final disposal site the Dandora dumpsite. We are also developing a waste-to-energy plant at Dandora, which will clear existing waste and transform the area into a more habitable and dignified environment. Anyone earning from or handling waste whether organic, recyclable, e-waste, or any other form of waste must be licensed by the County Government. Waste pickers and recyclers must cease creating unauthorized dumpsites in residential areas under the pretext of sorting or recycling. If you must handle recyclables, it must be done away from residential areas and must fully comply with the required standards. To those criticizing our enforcement efforts online before you condemn, take time to understand why we are doing this. You are welcome to join us during our operations and witness firsthand the suffering endured by residents living near non-compliant sorting centers and material recovery facilities. We must do what is right, no matter the cost. The time to act is now. To those attempting to compromise junior staff and obstruct proper enforcement, be warned: integrity will prevail. Our mission is clear to create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.
