The Lagos state government has sealed the Ajah market and Ogba city mall over what it described as waste disposal offences.
LAWMA’s director of public affairs Folashade Kadiri in a statement said the action was carried out by the combined enforcement teams of the Lagos waste management authority, LAWMA; state task force on environmental sanitation and special offences.
Kadiri added that the enforcement team also cleared shanties and illegal traders’ structures around the ajah BRT corridor, and ajah jubilee bridge.
Meanwhile, state environment and water resources commissioner Tokunbo Wahab said the move was in line with the government’s resolve to continue its onslaught on filth and indiscriminate waste disposal by markets and businesses.
On his part, the managing director/ceo of LAWMA Muyiwa Gbadegesin reiterated the zero-tolerance campaign which he said is continuous, to guarantee responsible waste disposal in the state.
