Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions to the Lagos Waste Management Authority’s (LAWMA) ongoing enforcement drive against businesses accused of violating environmental sanitation regulations.
TVC News Online had earlier reported that LAWMA commenced the sealing of shops and plazas along the Tejuosho–Ojuelegba corridor after the expiration of compliance notices issued to affected business owners over waste management violations.
Reacting via Instagram, user @waiter.0001 praised the development but urged the agency to provide more waste disposal facilities.
Another Instagram user, @oriekejoseph, criticised the enforcement exercise, arguing that the government should first improve refuse collection before sanctioning businesses.
Responding directly to the criticism, another Instagram user, @medox4real, defended LAWMA’s actions.
