Gengen! The new law now
is; beautify your house or go to jail! What the Lagos State
Commissioner for Environment Tunji Bello spelt out oo...
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 offence 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 offences.” The commissioner said
Lagos State
government want Lagos to be as beautiful as Singapore. Hehe! There's
even an agency that will implement the law; it's called the Lagos State
Parks and Gardens Agency, LASPARK, which was inaugurated yesterday. So
please people, start planting flowers in your houses o! :-)
