Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor
of Lagos State whose flagship programme of “greater lagos” has urged
manufacturers operating in the State to use biodegradable or recyclable
materials in the packaging of their products. He said the appeal became
important to enhance waste management in the State. The governor noted that
effective waste management starts from individual household where waste must be
properly bagged and sorted to facilitate recycling. He told them: “You will
recollect that at the inception of our administration, I signed an executive
order with clear instructions to the management of Lagos State Waste Management
Authority to implement strategies that will ensure proper and efficient
evacuation and disposal of waste across the State.” The governor added that his
government has since gone ahead to reactivate the dormant landfill sites as
well as waste water loading stations located at strategic areas in the State.
He enjoined all stakeholders to support strategies and programmes aimed at
ensuring environmental sustainability of the “smart city of Lagos”.
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
