The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has shut down business activities at Sangotedo market in Eti Osa Local Government, due to indiscriminate dumping of refuse and poor hygiene practices by traders.

Mrs. Folashade Kadiri, LAWMA’s Director of Public Affairs, stated this in a statement made available to Next Edition on Friday.

She cited the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s executive order on traffic and sanitation matters, which stresses government’s zero tolerance for environmental abuse, illegal and indiscriminate dumping of refuse and defacing the environment.

The LAWMA boss noted that government’s efforts at restoring environmental sanity in the area were being thwarted by unhygienic activities of traders, who had consistently violated environmental laws and refused to patronize assigned PSP operators.

She stressed that the management was working round the clock to reposition the organization to rid the State of waste, necessitating the introduction of “Lagos at 4 a.m” operation and other laudable initiatives, aimed at restoring environmental integrity in Lagos State.

The statement further said, that the authority had strongly warned of severe sanctions, including further closure of markets that indulge in indiscriminate dumping of refuse and on road medians.

It urged residents to support the State government’s quest to establish sustainable and liveable environment that would be the pride of everyone, adding that they should shun indiscriminate waste disposal and patronize assigned PSP operators.

It would be recalled that in February 2019, LAWMA warned that it would shut down Ladipo ultra-modern market in Mushin, due to poor waste management practices, a plan later shelved after the traders turned a new leaf.
