Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA\u2019s intervention is a significant step towards rectifying these issues and bringing the market to compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his reaction, the Managing Director, LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said that the closure was expected to allow for a thorough assessment of the environmental impact of the market\u2019s activities and the implementation of necessary remedial measures, serving as a clear signal that LAWMA would not hesitate to take decisive actions, where and when environmental laws were flouted.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cAs Lagos State continues to grow and develop, it is imperative that economic activities are conducted in a manner that is sustainable and environmentally responsible. LAWMA\u2019s recent actions demonstrate the authority\u2019s commitment to this cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe offensive against environmental infractions will continue till sanity is restored in our markets, while the next stop will be illegal markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The closure of Ladipo Market followed similar action taken against Oyingbo, Alayabiagba, Oke-Odo Markets, and some sections of Tejuosho Market, for serial infractions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision to shut down those markets underscored the state government\u2019s unwavering commitment to the restoration of environmental sanity in the state,\u201d Gbadegesin stressed.<\/p>\n<p>For waste management related issues, the commissioner urged residents to call LAWMA toll-free numbers: 617 and 07080601020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shut over alleged environmental infractions Market to remain closed until the mandatory conditions of redress were met by traders and market stakeholders Lagos State Government has ordered the immediate closure of Ladipo Market, Mushin, over alleged environmental infractions including, reckless waste disposal, unhygienic premises, and non payment of waste bills, among others.
