Any market or facility that runs foul of this arrangement will face sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The commissioner assured residents that the markets would remain sealed until stringent hygiene and waste disposal measures were implemented and compliance maintained, adding that the state government was totally committed to ensuring cleanliness in all parts of the metropolis.<\/p>\n<p>Wahab continued, \u201cThe health and well-being of our residents are paramount. We cannot allow a few to endanger the health of many through irresponsible environmental practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sealing of these markets is a necessary step to compel compliance and safeguard public health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also, the Managing Director of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, urged various market executives to always mobilise their members to abide by waste management regulations, including the use of the double dino bins provided for markets and the observance of hygienic habits in their activities.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cThe rules of engagement are simple enough, and the markets are all familiar with them: do not dispose of waste recklessly; use the dino bins; shun waste disposal on the road median around markets; deploy waste policing to prevent and apprehend outsiders messing up your markets; and pay your waste bills promptly. It is as simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gbadegesin warned that the zero tolerance initiative would be pursued more vigorously this year, adding that markets that fail to embrace basic and decent waste disposal practices would not escape sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>He therefore appealed to market executives to work harder in mobilising their members to do what is right to preserve the environment for the good of everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The LAWMA boss reiterated the agency\u2019s commitment to ensuring cleaner and healthier environment, stressing that cooperation from all stakeholders, including market operators and traders, was crucial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLAWMA deploys resources daily to clear waste from markets across the state. However, our efforts are often hampered by poor waste management practices within the markets themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge traders and market authorities to adopt responsible waste disposal habits and work with LAWMA to maintain clean and healthy environments,\u201d Gbadegesin stated.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged residents to report waste management related issues on LAWMA toll-free numbers: 080000LAWMA (08000052962), 07080601020 and 617 or send an email to info@lawma.gov.ng.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restates government\u2019s zero tolerance for waste initiative The Lagos State Government has sealed Oke-Afa Market, Isolo Market, and Katangua Market in Abule Egba for violations of waste disposal regulations and for various unhygienic practices around the markets, constituting grave environmental infractions.
