The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) said that, from next Thursday, both Ladipo and Oyingbo markets would be shut down till further notice.

This is as a result of reckless waste dumping, refusal to pay for waste services, and general poor waste management situation at the markets.

LAWMA’s Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni, noted that the unwholesome environmental practices by traders in those markets, despite repeated warnings, called for necessary and immediate sanctions.


He said: “Our attention has been drawn to the deplorable state of the environment around Ladipo Market, Mushin and Oyingbo Market, resulting from reckless waste dumping by traders.

“Despite serving them abatement notices, they have continued the mindless environmental violation. We are left with no other choice than to evoke the necessary sanction of shutting down the markets. This is also meant to serve as a deterrent to other nonchalant markets.”

He said that the authority had, in recent times, redoubled its efforts to ensure that business activities in all Lagos markets were carried out in a clean and safe environment, for the good of all.

Odumboni noted further that: “We have intensified our sanitation efforts by deploying trucks to clear black spots across the metropolis, especially business facilities.


“However, these efforts are being tainted by the activities of mischievous persons who would rather dump their waste indiscriminately on the roads, than pay for waste services.”


He urged traders in other markets to adhere strictly to environmental hygiene or risk indefinite closure of their markets.

In another development, a mobile court sitting in Oshodi has sentenced two environmental offenders, for waste burning and dumping refuse in the drain during rainfall, both were apprehended at Ikeja and Lekki axis respectively.


The first offender was sentenced on a two-count charge: one year imprisonment or a ₦50,000 fine, and one month imprisonment, without the option of a fine.

The second offender was remanded in a correctional facility, pending bail conditions.

The LAWMA boss reiterated the determination of the agency to stamp out all forms of indiscriminate waste disposal in the metropolis, adding that the enforcement team had been mandated to monitor the environment and arrest persons bent on derailing efforts of the Authority to make Lagos cleaner and livable.

He appealed to residents to imbibe the habit of effective waste management, by bagging and containerising their waste, for easy and evacuation by assigned PSPs, adding that delay of evacuation by PSP should be reported to the Authority, using its toll-free lines, as excuse when caught would not be entertained.

Parachoko my super urchin .you masturbate today ?

Good but what about Alaba Rago or your attention has not been drawn to that

Well, i trust my igbo brothers... they'll survive thank Goodness for online and home delivery

Alaba international market should not be left out

A clear target against Igbos. It is well known that igbos traders populate these markets.

I think the Chiarman of Ladipo market should meet the Lagos government for them to have a meeting point. Motor owners will also suffer if the market is closed. The Chiarman should be able to hand over defaulters to Lagos government to deal with them.

Let no one turn this to tribal bash.
Obidient still remain better than sacrifice.

I don't think so. The closure will work more for the interest of the traders than for the state government.

if there is flood in the area, you will be the first to insult tinubu and sanwoolu

What's stopping you, this will work to the traders benefit. The scarcity of items will affect price, higher prices when they resume. This is a capitalist economy.

so in your mind only Igbos trade in ladipo market. Everyone will be affected both the traders and the government who collect tax.

PresidObi:


Nigeria is my home.

Your hometown.

Lagos the drug baron wants to emulate is having dirty crisis, tyranny qualities and criminal tendencies.

Distance yourself from any fool who says tinubu is his/her role model.

rusher14:


Your hometown.

Why asking such questions?
Has yekini Amoda sent you to come and assassinate him?

Iliveforever:
