mmsen:Sir, have you actually considered the pros and cons of this restriction and why it was introduced in the first place? Let's look at it through this way. Building "A" has 5 occupants who have differing work schedule and differing time freedom allocated to them based on their variations in work and job specifics. If Mr Chika decides to clean his house on Monday at the expense of others, the environment still remains dirty. The relevance of creating a compulsory work free time for sanitation is to ensure that everyone does it simultaneously irrespective of one's working and job schedule. Mind you, this explanation is based on peculiarities relating to pervasive corruption in Nigerian Institution charged with implementing such compliances. For now, the cost of cleaning our environment and maintaining proper Institutions will have greater financial implications on the govt. |

chillykelly86: And one way is to ensure state governments employ, educate and train health officers who shall daily monitor the implementation of environmental laws, and sanction offenders. That decree has no place in 2015!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

We should be able to judge issue with reason. with restriction of movement people will still not clean their environment. when rain fall and flood block the way people will blame government. let apply law that will serve the people not politics.

franciskaine: Is sanitation about keeping the inside of homes clean? I'm sure it is about keeping the general environment clean. It is for the owner of the premises to ensure that his/her building is clean. If there are multiple occupants and one landlord then the landlord should stipulate within the terms of the tenancy what the arrangement is pertaining to the upkeep of the premises - most decent landlords know to do this. 'Corruption' is no excuse for not painting or cleaning your compound, ensuring that the drains are not blocked with refuse. If citizens wish to be treated with respect then they ought to respect themselves enough to take pride in their own environs. 3 Likes 1 Share |

boujaye: What has Tinubu, GEJ or politics got to do with this? FCT Abuja also have the same restriction rule on sanitation day. Even when the authority decided to relax the rule, it was not publicized. Till today, the Abuja Environmental Protection Board Task Force still use that to fleece people coming into the city centre from suburbs on last Saturday of the month. |

Testing Great, the next legal battle to be fought is the one against restriction of movement during elections. I believe you could have a clean environment, and vote also, without restriction of movement as we are in a democratic setting. |

dein77:What decree? |
Re: Court Nullifies Movement Restriction During Lagos Monthly Sanitation by omonnakoda: 4:18pm On Mar 16, 2015 |
franciskaine:There is no other sensible way to look at it than through the law. The Constitution is the supreme law and EVERY OTHER LAW must comply with the Constitution. I am not aware of whether Lagos State enacted any legislation before embarking o this enterprise.What this judgment is telling us is even if they did such a law is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. That is all there is to it and so no further discussion. Lagos State can appeal. I doubt that they will but if they do and lose then the only way to get that back is to change the constitution. Until such time there will be no restriction. I think it is important to state why the government was always likely to lose. The law operates generally on PRINCIPLES that cover an infinite range of scenarios that cannot be captured exhaustively in legislation. If we are to have freedom of movement then we cannot have unlimited power to restrict that freedom. The ONLY scenarios envisaged in our constitution for restriction of movement are states of emergency and quarantine(quarantine is on the exclusive list) . By no stretch of the imagination can a routine exercise such as sanitation be classed as "emergency" therefore by imposing restrictions LAGOS STATE is exercising powers that IT DOES NOT HAVE. The rule of law implies that every person has boundaries and respects those boundaries. Government power has LIMITS. If government decides today they want to impose restriction for sanitation for 3 hours the question then arises why not for 3 days or one month?? Why not for religious reasons etc. In fact I see restrictions for Oro etc on shaky ground too 3 Likes 1 Share |
