Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, has stepped up enforcement of environmental sanitation regulations by shutting down several markets, shopping complexes and commercial premises in the Ikotun-Igando area over persistent waste management violations.
The agency also announced the commencement of fresh compliance notices to businesses operating along the Ojuelegba-Lawanson-Itire corridor ahead of another phase of enforcement.
The operation, carried out on Saturday by LAWMA’s Project WISE West team, focused on markets and commercial establishments along the LASU-Igando Road corridor in Alimosho Local Government Area.
According to the agency, the affected traders and business operators repeatedly engaged in indiscriminate dumping of refuse on road medians despite several warnings, environmental awareness campaigns and notices of intention to seal their premises.
The latest exercise comes on the heels of a similar enforcement campaign along the Yaba-Ojuelegba corridor earlier in the week, which LAWMA said resulted in improved compliance with sanitation regulations and restored environmental cleanliness in
