Lagos Warns Institutions Against Breaching Waste Management Rules
Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has warned that the government will take firm action against any institution or organisation found violating waste management regulations. Eyes Of Lagos reports. This latest warning follows action against Dowen College, which has previously faced controversy. In 2021, the school was temporarily shut down by the Lagos State Government during investigations into the death of student Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, a case that drew nationwide outrage. Wahab reiterated the state’s commitment to enforcing environmental sanitation laws to safeguard public health and the environment. He urged all institutions to adopt proper waste management practices or risk sanctions, including possible closure.
