He maintained that the agency would continue to enforce compliance with environmental laws, adding that Tuesday’s operation should serve as a reminder of the state government’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
“Our message is clear, LASEPA is determined to safeguard the environment and guarantee a healthier Lagos for everyone.” Ajayi stated.
