LAWMA BOSS VOWS LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ILLEGAL CART PUSHER, NOTORIOUS MISCREANT ARRESTED DURING ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION OPERATION AT ALAYABIAGBA MARKET, LAGOS.

In a firm reiteration of the Lagos State Government’s unwavering resolve to uphold environmental sanitation, safeguard public health and entrench urban orderliness, traders at Alayabiagba Market, situated in the Boundary area of Ajegunle, earlier today embarked on a large-scale environmental clean-up exercise under the stringent supervision of officials of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) in strategic collaboration with the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LASESC). The sanitation exercise, which recorded impressive participation from market stakeholders was deliberately structured to restore environmental decorum, stem the tide of indiscriminate refuse disposal and reinforce a sustainable culture of cleanliness within commercial hubs across the metropolis. The initiative equally constitutes a vital plank of LAWMA’s broader agenda to institutionalize environmental accountability among traders and market leadership bodies. During the course of the enforcement...

DR. MUYIWA GBADEGESIN: RECALIBRATING URBAN SANITATION AND ENTRENCHING INSTITUTIONAL DISTINCTION AT LAWMA.

Image
In the chronicle of public sector leadership in Lagos State, scarcely any stewardship has been as profoundly transformative, intellectually prescient and results-oriented as that of Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA). His tenure transcends routine administration; it is a bold odyssey of reform, renewal and institutional rebirth firmly rooted in an enlightened grasp of environmental sustainability, operational efficiency and the immutable social covenant between the state and its citizens. Upon assuming the mantle of leadership, Dr. Gbadegesin was confronted with an agency enmeshed in the intricate challenges synonymous with a burgeoning megacity: runaway population expansion, chronic urban congestion, inherited infrastructural inadequacies, widespread public indifference to environmental hygiene and the enduring dilemma of translating policy intent into practical outcomes. Rather than recoil in the ...

  Princess Abiodun Oyefusi, a human rights advocate and politician, has raised serious concerns over the collapse of a classroom building at Odokekere Community Junior Secondary School in the Odo-Kekere community of Ikorodu, Lagos State, describing the incident as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by deteriorating school infrastructure.
