WorldStage– Governor Babajide Sanwolu of Lagos and the State Executive Council have approved the recruitment of an additional 1,400 officers into the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC/KAI).
The state’s Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab disclosed.
The move, according to him, is aimed at strengthening enforcement and supporting the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources in maintaining cleaner, healthier, and more orderly public spaces across Lagos.
He assured that the new recruits would boost the state’s capacity to monitor compliance with environmental laws, prevent indiscriminate dumping of waste, discourage street trading in restricted areas, and ensure proper waste management practices in every part of the state.
“With this expansion, we are reinforcing our commitment to a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos that prioritizes public health, safety, and environmental sustainability,” Wahab stated.
