The Lagos State Government, on Tuesday, sealed a building at 10A Alexander Road, Ikoyi for contravening the Greening Law of the State after an unauthorised felling of trees without the appropriate permit and approval from the State government.
Speaking during the enforcement exercise, the General Managers of LASPARK, Mrs Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola maintained that the action became expedient in order to establish the need for property owners to comply with the greening provisions of the govt.
Abiola commended concerned citizen who alerted the government and further enjoined the public to support the greening vision of the State by serving as environmental watchdogs in the preservation of nature in the interest of all
Also, the General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, recalled that the two Agencies swung into action by visiting the property to authenticate the validity of the claim and surprisingly met the gate under lock and key hence the need for this action.
The enforcement for compliance, which was jointly carried LASPARK and LASEPA, was based on the directive of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu after the property owner refused to comply with the abatement notice earlier served to him by LASPARK.
