Your Excellency, I respectfully draw your attention to a recent video circulating publicly showing two women disposing of waste from their bins directly into running rainwater. This act reflects a concerning disregard for environmental sanitation and the collective responsibility we share in protecting our waterways and communities. I kindly...

Today, we convened a strategic meeting with all the 57 Local Government and Local Council Development Area Chairmen, alongside selected members of the Lagos State Executive Council, to secure their support for the successful take-off and sustenance of the re-introduced Monthly Environmental Sanitation Exercise in the state. The meeting was in furtherance of our shared commitment to restoring the culture of cleanliness across Lagos. I emphasised that achieving a cleaner, flood-free and sustainable environment requires collaboration between the State Government, Local Governments and residents. Last month, Mr. Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, formally launched the re-introduced Monthly Environmental Sanitation Exercise as a call for Lagosians to take responsibility for their immediate environment. With Lagos generating about 13,000 to 14,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste daily, the challenge of waste management requires collective and consistent action. We already have market sanitation exercises every Thursday between 7am and 10am across the State. If markets, which are central to economic activity, can observe regular sanitation, it is only right that households and communities also embrace this culture. As part of the implementation strategy, State EXCO members, Local Government Chairmen and senior officials will be assigned to various locations to monitor compliance during the designated sanitation periods. A monitoring and enforcement team will also be deployed to ensure effectiveness. In addition, we will introduce a monthly award for the cleanest Local Government or LCDA, with incentives attached, to encourage healthy competition and reward commitment to environmental cleanliness. We also urged all Chairmen to intensify public enlightenment on proper waste disposal and discourage dumping refuse on roads, medians, open spaces, drainages and canals. I appreciate the commitment of the Conference 57 Chairman, Hon. Sesan Olowa Hon Abdulahi Sesan Olowa , and all 57 Chairmen who pledged their full support for the initiative. Their collaboration is critical to restoring environmental discipline and sustaining a cleaner Lagos. Together, we will rebuild the culture of sanitation and create a cleaner, safer and more sustainable environment for all. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagos

The Lagos State Government has inaugurated a Special Task Force to combat indiscriminate waste dumping across the metropolis, particularly on roads, bus stops, garages, and lay-bys. As part of the initiative, members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) will work with government agencies as “waste police” to monitor and report environmental violations. Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi , emphasized that tackling environmental abuse requires collaboration between government and transport unions, warning that offenders will face sanctions. He also directed union leaders to ensure cleanliness in their garages and parks, discourage indiscriminate trading, and remove illegal structures that contribute to waste generation. Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr. Sam Egube, highlighted the critical role of transport workers in maintaining public order and security, urging them to report suspicious activities and support efforts to keep Lagos clean and safe. LAWMA Managing Director, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, PhD , noted that Lagos generates about 13,000 tonnes of waste daily and called on transport unions to help prevent waste disposal on roads, promote proper waste management, and stop street trading around bus stops and newly constructed roads. Stakeholder Sola Giwa assured the unions of government support in enforcing sanitation standards, removing illegal shanties, and maintaining clean transport facilities. In response, the transport unions pledged their commitment to partnering with the government in waste policing and environmental sanitation across Lagos. #AGreaterLagosRising
