In a statement by the state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Frederic Oladeinde, released at the weekend, directed that: “All transport operators/companies are expected to sanitize their parks and garages regularly and continuously (at least before and after each trip).”

The Lagos State government has reiterated total intolerance of illegal and reckless waste disposal, in unauthorized places. This followed the arrest, preparatory to prosecution of some residents of Aboru in Alimosho, whose wards were recently caught emptying bags of trash in a drainage channel at the front of their home, during a recent heavy downpour, on the instructions of their parents.
