Isn't it necessary to show us how their waste management failures harms the environment? Buh then again, power and money changes hands in Nigeria... Why shut the school during holidays and not school days... Before August ends, this matter would die a natural death before school resumes normally Sept. |

Tokunboh trying to be ingenious by half. School would be sealed when not in session. Before resumption,it would be unsealed with claims they have complied. |

Lagos state suffers from over population.50% of the population should be dispersed to other parts of the country for sanity to prevail in Lagos |

seborrhic:You would rather the school was sealed while in session and hundreds of students sent home? Netflix governance ❌️ |

it will be proper and just to show the world where the school disposed the refuse first of all. secondly has the school confirmed that the refuse was taken from their compound? Did the school uses direct Laboure to evacuate the waste or contracted a waste disposal agent to do so? if indeed the school uses direct Laboure to disposed off the waste in a wrong place, then they deserve the punishment as no one is above the law. But if the school contracted a waste disposal agent to evacuate the refuse, then, the government should punish the agent and not the school as the school do not have control of the operations of the contractor. |

Has Dowen College been paying waste disposal bills to a Lagos State approved contractor? If yes, then it is the responsibility of the contractor to find a suitable place to dispose waste, not Dowen College. |

Sealing a learning institution because of an infringement is the best method of prosecution in Nigeria. What a joke! What happens to inviting the Proprietor or arresting a principal or using other legal means instead of just "authoritarianically" locking up the place like we are in a banana republic. |

Starships4u:Something was reported today, you are saying they should wait till the day after tomorrow to act on it. How do you reason? The goal is not to stop the school from operating; rather, the obvious intention is to get them to do the needful so that they can continue their operations without harming the community around them. That is constructive rather than destructive discipline. |

Yet public schools that don't have toilets remain open. |

The State Government shouldn't just seal Dowen College but the entire state. Lagos state is a total squalid. |

BreconHills:It's the eye service and selective justice I am against because it's likely the infringement didn't start during the break period. I bet you if it was another college,it would have been sealed even when the school was in session |

Lagos is one large sewer, they dump all their sewage in the same water they drink and bath with hence the shitty smell of it's residents. It's a miracle epidemics don't occur frequently or they re suppressed. |

Dowen college knows them all. They know each other. |
| Re: Lagos State Government To Seal Dowen College Over Waste Disposal Violation by BreconHills(m): 3:36pm On Aug 13, 2025 |
seborrhic:I dont agree. Down has been shut before and it is shut again. It is to the credit of regulators that they have limited the impact to the owners and not the children. If Dowen can fix the issue and ensure there will be no repeat, the school should be reopened. The infringement did not start during the break but was caught during the break. Again unless there are special reasons, Lagos does not disrupt schools during term time. I speak as one whose wife owns two schools- one 15 years and the other 10 years old. Typically a warning letter would have been received by the school. The best way of dealing with regulators is know the law, keep the law with extra margin and be self assessed at all times. |

nwirinedu:This is true of most large highly populated cities cities including London. The only place where you will get clean mineral and untreated water in a large city is in a restaurant. As for the tribe baiting comment - I wont rise to that.

We said Lagos smells. They refused to accept it. Now this! It's now clear they had no choice but to agree with us. But despite that, Lagos still smells. Eko ti baje o. |
