Lagos residents in both Lagos Island and Mainland will have their houses sealed if they have no waste bins beginning from July 7, the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has said.
The Executive Director, Finance of LAWMA, Kunle Adebiyi, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
He said the decision follows an earlier issuance of abatement notices to the affected areas two months ago.
Adebiyi urged property owners and residents to procure adequate waste bins for their homes, adding that sufficient notice had been given to tenements to procure the standard waste bins.
He said, “It is crucial for residents to cultivate proper environmental habits and support the efforts of the Authority to establish a cleaner and more livable environment.
“By taking action against violations and ensuring compliance, we can create a sustainable environment, and help build a city of our dream.”
