LAWMA seals non-compliant shops, plazas over waste violations
The Lagos Waste Management Authority has commenced sealing non-compliant shops and plazas along the Tejuosho-Ojuelegba corridor for violating waste management regulations.
LAWMA boss, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said the enforcement followed the expiration of compliance notices earlier issued to the affected premises.
Mr Gbadegesin disclosed this on his X on Thursday. He said the operation was carried out by LAWMA’s Waste Investigation, Surveillance and Enforcement team.
According to him, the exercise targets premises that failed to comply with waste management regulations and continued to dispose of waste indiscriminately on public roads despite receiving compliance notices.
“The enforcement action targets premises that failed to comply with waste management regulations and continued the indiscriminate disposal of waste on public roads,” he said.
Mr Gbadegesin said maintaining a clean Lagos requires compliance with environmental laws rather than convenience.
He said the authority would continue to enforce environmental regulations to protect public health, keep roads clean and hold offenders accountable.
