New environmental policies have been put in place by the Lagos state government.

Lagos state government has embarked on this initiative to tackle pollution in the state. Under the new environmental law, street trading is highly prohibited.

Henceforth, no one is allowed to buy or sell along the major highways and streets of Lagos.

In the same vien, no trader is allowed to sell in an unapproved market in the state.

Also, every owner, tenant and occupier of any shop of kiosk must ensure cleanliness of his space at all times.

Defaulters of these laws will face stiff penalties from the government which include heavy fines ranging from N250,000 to N5,000,000 and/or imprisonment. #CleanerLagos #CLI #environment #lagos
