Over the past few days, servicemen and women of the Armed Forces have shared what the recent pay increase means for them and their families. I am glad it is making a difference.
This week, the Nigerian Army @HQNigerianArmy operationalised new formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo and Osun. Our troops are now closer to vulnerable communities in these areas, strengthening our ability to respond swiftly and decisively when our people are threatened.
We are also fast-tracking the construction of new barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi and Kogi, with Osun already completed. As we demand more from our men and women in uniform, we must do more to support them and their families.
Every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too.
As our Armed Forces stand watch over Nigeria, my duty as Commander-in-Chief is to ensure they have the resources and support to do their job, and that Nigeria stands firmly behind the families waiting for them at home.

LAWMA SEALS PREMISES ON AGO PALACE WAY, ARRESTS 11 DUMPERS ON LAGOS ISLAND
… Intensifies Enforcement Against Illegal Waste Disposal
In renewed enforcement efforts, the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has sealed premises identified for persistent illegal waste dumping along Ago Palace Way and arrested 11 persons for illegal waste disposal in various parts of Lagos Island.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said that the enforcement operations underscored the Authority’s resolve to enforce existing waste management regulations and ensure compliance with approved waste disposal practices across Lagos.
He explained that the Ago Palace Way operation covered plazas, hotels, lounges and warehouses along the corridor, as part of efforts to tackle activities contributing to waste build-up and environmental nuisance on road setbacks, medians and other unauthorised public spaces.
He added that the enforcement exercise on Lagos Island, covering Tinubu, Apongbon, Oke-Arin and CMC areas, led to the arrest of 11 persons for unauthorised handling and illegal disposal of waste.
Gbadegesin reaffirmed that indiscriminate waste disposal remained detrimental to the environment and could undermine sanitation gains across the State, urging residents, traders and businesses to desist from dumping waste on roads, walkways, drains and other unauthorised locations.
He stated that waste should be properly bagged and handed over to accredited Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators, adding that businesses and property owners must take responsibility for waste generated within and around their premises.
According to him, the enforcement exercise formed part of LAWMA’s broader strategy to improve environmental cleanliness, tackle violations at source and promote responsible waste management behaviour.
He said that the Authority would continue to monitor different parts of the State and take appropriate enforcement action against persons and businesses found violating environmental regulations.
The LAWMA boss urged residents, traders, businesses and property owners to comply with environmental regulations, use approved waste disposal channels and support the Authority’s efforts to keep public spaces clean, accessible and environmentally safe.
He encouraged members of the public to report instances of illegal dumping and other waste management violations through LAWMA’s established channels, stressing that achieving a cleaner Lagos required the collective responsibility of government, residents, businesses and other stakeholders.
