Following a whistleblower complaint, I directed the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office team to visit the Access Bank Plc @myaccessbank building at Oniru, Victoria Island, where it was discovered that the wastewater treatment plant at the facility was non-functional, resulting in the discharge of untreated faecal matter into the public drainage system and causing severe damage to the environment.

During the enforcement visit, officials of LSWMO were denied access to seal the facility. Security personnel and management representatives of the bank resisted our officers and, in the process, attacked members of the enforcement team.

Consequently, the LSWMO team has taken samples of the effluent being discharged from the premises for laboratory analysis and result of test came back positive.

The State will also proceed to court to obtain the necessary orders for the arrest and prosecution of individuals involved in the attack on government officials carrying out their lawful duties.
Meanwhile, enforcement officers will be reinforced to return and seal off the property tonight in line with the Lagos State Environmental Laws.

There will be NO SACRED COWS in the enforcement of environmental regulations. Any individual or organisation found violating environmental laws, regardless of status, will be held accountable.

It is well. Nigeria vs Jordan

A move in the right direction.

A big bank like Access should have solved this problem with at most 500k, but now you'll pay through your nose.


Except they'll transfer the blame to the land owner, that's if the property is on lease.

GBAM!!! ..... Una go still use una hand open am

Imagine Tinubu bragging to build Lagos
Yet simple waste water system una no get

Aba was once a huge slum for years.
Now Lagos is taking over Aba as latest Slum

If Alex Otti can transform Aba in 3 years
Why did Tinubu do in Lagos for 20 yrs

This is a good action from his agency

These people like to blow things out of proportion because they want to extort money from the corncened organisation

Politically motivated moves.
Aren't you supposed to obtain the court order first before you can seal the place?
When did you "obtain and test the sample"? Post the results.
Anyone believing this crap must be very naive. Lagos State that use microscope to follow big buildings and organisations, will now come and say, such a building defaulted in something, and the commissioner himself is the one posting? That is the giveaway.
As 2027 elections approaches, maybe someone was seen in the company of people they don't like, hence the shakedown.

Keep typing rubbishhhh.

Sanwo Only needs to check the wereys he put in charge of waste management. Just like those who worked for Ambode, they are doing a very bad job in managing waste in Lagos State. They should go learn from Fashola.

When you are done been a BOT, you will transform back to a normal human being

Waste management... Looooooooooooooooooooooooool

Mr Commissioner, what have you done about the refuse disposal system in Lagos? I don't know of other areas but Standard Purity company should be replaced. They're not doing their duties at all... Only visit the communities they service once a month, where do they expect the people to keep their wastes before they come?

Go through Papa Ashafa, Agege, Iyana-Ipaja and see wastes being dumped indiscriminately. Do you blame the people?

Annoying part is, even when they finally come, they end up littering the streets with some of the wastes, like say their compactor dey lick

The commissioner should look into that also

Someone will sue the Lagos state government one day.

All these locking up of buildings by agencies. I just hope it’s backed by law.

Lagos State should have taken this up with the Access Bank Head Office rather than attempting to seal off a bank while in operation during working hours.

There is a process to everything. LASG should always adopt fair engagement practices in a sensitive business banking sector.

In my own opinion, despite the allegations. They are not being fair to the bank.

This a something you call on the management and sort it amicably. Remember this same acces bank constructed the roads within this oniru and also main sponsor of the well known talk about Lagos marathon. Our politicians with eye service is like trump and that man wen deh lead Israel

Hmmm ....and when there's a cholera outbreak we'll be wondering why. I agree 100% with the action taken against the bank and management. I hope the ones responsible really be punished and the bank be heavily fined ..... and have to pay for the clean up. This action was set off by a whistleblower. I'm curious to know why didn't the agency know if this? Don't they have inspectors? ...and analyse samples taken from waterways etc ? What do they actually do?

E good like that. Haba see dirty 😩😩😩

Same government that failed to provide adequate sewage system

for what?
for what?
for what?

The policemen who attacked the government officials are so dull.

One of the fool is even threatening to waste a Lagos state government official for carrying out his duty.

The bank manager is a goner....how did he let this happen?
