See the moment @ndlea_nigeria officers discovered consignments of cocaine packaged as plantain hands and another in walls of cartons of Orijin bitters going to UK and Malaysia respectively
Earlier today my team and I returned to the Ajiran and Agungi axis in Eti-Osa to inspect the ongoing removal of contraventions and drainage restoration works, and I can report that our decisive intervention is already yielding visible results. Within 48 to 72 hours of reopening the Ajiran channel to the Lagoon and the Ikota River, we have seen a remarkable improvement in stormwater discharge, bringing real relief to residents of Agungi, Ajiran Village, and neighbouring communities. We are not done yet. This exercise continues until the entire drainage alignment is fully restored and reconnected to the natural water bodies.
I also met with community leaders and residents to explain both the immediate and long term measures we are deploying. We are collaborating with the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to deliver a sustainable engineering solution for this flood prone corridor, and I have directed the Emergency Flood Abatement Gang to commence remedial maintenance on channels requiring urgent intervention.
At Orange Island on Freedom Way, I reaffirmed that the government remains resolute against illegal dredging and land reclamation. Reclamation activities there were halted last year because the developers failed to obtain the mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment and drainage clearance. That area is a major discharge outlet for Lekki Phase I into the Lagoon and any obstruction would create significant environmental challenges. We also inspected downstream discharge points serving Itedo, Kushenla and Freedom Way and identified additional corrective measures for immediate implementation.
I commend the Local Government authorities for improving their operational capacity. Flood management is a shared duty. Every new road must have properly designed collector drains connected to primary canals, and communities must take ownership of completed infrastructure. On enforcement, we continue to arrest and prosecute environmental offenders. We will soon deploy between 140 and 150 additional waste compactors to strengthen LAWMA's fleet and support PSP operators. Before the end of this year, our Material Recovery Facilities and Transfer Loading Stations will begin diverting over 4,000 tonnes of waste daily from landfills as we accelerate the transition from a linear waste system to a circular economy. This is the work of building a flood resilient #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.
I’ll be live today on HardFacts with @SheriffQuadry on @NigeriainfoFM at 3:00 p.m.
Please join us as we discuss issues relating to the Lagos environment and other matters of public interest.
BREAKING: Federal government has reduced import levy on new vehicles 🚗 into Nigeria 🇳🇬 from 20% to 10% and that of used vehicles from 15% to 5% in order to ease cost of vehicle importation. The reduction takes effect today.
Tomorrow on #HardFacts
Illegal dumping. Overflowing bins. Flooding. Cleaner streets.
What is Lagos doing to improve waste management, and what role do residents have to play?

It still baffles me how we get distracted so easily. Doesn't matter the seriousness of it. The moment another distraction comes, the country latches on, especially if the source of the distraction is a person of interest.
Children writing NECO were kidnapped TODAY btw.
Can we get an explanation as to why fuel is not selling at 750 per liter?
@AlikoDangote , @nnpclimited ...
ANYONE !!!!!
We deserve some explanation at the very least !
Operation Kosaye !
If the Lagos Police Command were truly capable of tackling internal security threats, there would be no need for a specially named operation.
In case IGP Disu doesn't realize it, this Kosaye only further confirms the difficult security situation we are facing.
@SheriffQuadry Wow. I didn't know you were a fan.
The Practice was the Bomb.

Today, at the Embassy of Denmark in London, I had the privilege of representing Lagos State at a critical gathering on how cities can scale up climate action from ambition to practical delivery. I joined Governor Sakaja of Nairobi, Councillor Aitken of Glasgow, and leaders from VELUX and Urban Partners in candid discussions about the urban climate reality. I laid out the Lagos truth plainly: we are a city of over 22 million people where climate resilience is not an abstract debate but a daily fight to keep the city functional. Water and wetlands cover more than 22 percent of our land yet only 10 percent of our residents have access to municipal water supply. Our most immediate threat is flooding driven by rainfall, tidal surges, and rapid urban growth, and these risks compound to overwhelm infrastructure. The real challenge is not lack of awareness but aligning drainage, land use, and infrastructure decisions with reliable usable data.
Partnerships are our bridge from ambition to delivery. Our collaboration with C40 through the Resilient Urban Futures programme supported by the Government of Denmark is strengthening our climate risk information and early warning systems. The Lagos Water Partnership established in 2024 remains a model of structured government and non-state collaboration and I made it clear that we need similar models across drainage, housing, transport, and environmental management. The private sector must be seen as a delivery partner not just a funding source because flooding and extreme weather already disrupt transport, damage infrastructure, and reduce productivity across our private sector driven economy. Our US 9 billion dollar investment plan for 2026 reflects our determination to move priorities into implementation faster and I called on global partners to support cities in preparing projects, accessing adaptation finance, and closing the gap between need and delivery capacity.
I left London convinced that African cities must be at the centre of the conversation at COP31 in Turkiye, not as passive recipients of support but as active leaders already responding daily to climate pressures. The journey to a resilient #CleanerLagos is inseparable from our economic development and together we are building a #GreaterLagos.
