… LAWMA clears illegal trading activities at Yaba Railway corridors
The
Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), has sealed Alamutu (Ologede)
Market located at Idi-oro, Mushin, over poor sanitary conditions and
improper waste disposal practices around the market.
The
Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said the measure
was part of LAWMA's on-going efforts at combating pervasive filth in
markets across the state, adding that high sanitary standards was
imperative for all markets, for wholesome health of traders and
customers.
He
said, "It is paramount that we maintain a hygienic environment in our
markets. This action is not just a response to Alamutu Market's
conditions, but a part of LAWMA's ongoing commitment to ensuring that
markets in Lagos meet the required standards of cleanliness and
sanitation."
He
noted that the enforcement action followed the recent closure of
several other markets, including Oyingbo, Ladipo, and Alayabiagba, due
to similar offences, adding that the closures underscored LAWMA's
unwavering determination to enforce sanitation regulations uniformly
across all markets, regardless of location or size.
In
a related development, LAWMA has begun clearing illegal trading
activities along Yaba Railway corridors, to address environmental
infractions by illegal traders in the axis.
Gbadegesin
further said that enforcement actions against illegal trading
activities had become necessary, to foster a cleaner and healthier
living environment for all residents of Lagos, adding that the Authority
was fully committed to stamping out activities capable of defacing the
environment and endangering the lives of the people.
