LAGOS STATE GOVERNEMENT: BEAUTIFY YOUR ENVIRONS OR GO TO JAIL


Governor Fashola is not joking ooo, you either beautify your environment or be jailed. Read the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Tunji Bello's speech yesterday;

"It is now mandatory for tenement/owners and occupiers to landscape and beautify the perimeter areas of their properties. A violation of this would attract N250, 000 or the amount the state would incur if it decides to carry out the beautification, or six months imprisonment or other non-custodian sentences…also anyone caught felling trees in the state or trimming them without permission would be fined a minimum of N50, 000 or sent to one year imprisonment.
It is also an offense to walk on lawns and gardens. Urinating, defecating in any  of the parks, gardens and open spaces; loitering or soliciting for illegal purposes, smoking and dumping refuse among others in the parks are also offenses."

There's even an agency that will implement the law; it's called the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency, LASPARK, which was inaugurated on Monday.
