According to him, "the inter-Agency cleanup of the Lagos-Badagry expressway which has been ongoing for weeks now, is aimed at removing infractions and hindrances on that corridor which has been successful but to our utter amazement, we discovered that there are young nursing mothers living in inhumane condition in these illegals dump sites and shanties, hence the neeed to rescue them, offer medical assistance before reuniting them with their families or the welfare authorities.".

Also, while affirming the Agency's cooperation with humanitarian best practices, the Corps Marshal assured Lagosians about the current synergy with the appropriate agencies for their rehabilitation and re-integration into the society.

In his final remarks, the Corps Marshal admonished parents to keep watch over their children as many have been discovered to abscond from home to the streets due to maltreatment, just as he affirmed the position of the State against child abuse while maintaining that defaulting parents and guardians may face prosecution for neglect and abuse.

Press Release

Sallah: Cole Enjoins Lagos Residents on Proper Waste Disposal, Environmental Cleanliness in the Metropolis.

As Muslims around the globe are set to mark the Eid-el-Adha holidays to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's obedience to the dictates of Allah, the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) popularly known as KAI has urged Lagos residents to adopt environmentalally-responsible acts via proper waste disposal, engaging in all-inclusive environmental sanitation during and after the Sallah holidays.

This was disclosed by the Corps Marshal of the Agency, Major Olaniyi Olatubosun Cole (Rtd) in a statement made available to newsmen at the Command Headquarters situated at Bolade-Oshodi. According to him, "the Sallah holidays are very significant to the Muslim world, being that the sacrificial act of slaughtering rams commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's obedience to Allah thousands of years ago. While Lagos residents and particularly Muslim faithfuls celebrate in Lagos, we keep advocating for the promotion of proper waste disposal, patronage of PSP operators and adoption of environmentally-appealing choices".

Cole also revealed how operatives of the Agency will remain at their operational beats to continually monitor for environmental infractions, effect arrests of environmental defaulters and sensitize relevant stakeholders on the need for increased voluntary compliance to the State's environmental laws.

The retired Major also read the riot act to Lagos residents to desist from displaying wares for sale on setbacks, lay-bys, kerbs, road verges, medians, gutter slabs, citing how street trading impedes vehicular and pedestrian movement on our roads.

He finally highlighted the need for transiting Lagos commuters to remain safety-compliant by accessing strategically-erected pedestrian bridges in the stead of crossing highways which results to 'hit and run' cases by speeding motorists, thereby causing grievous bodily harm or death in some cases.
