The Lagos State Govt retweeted
I received the senior management team of OPay Digital Services Limited led by Dotun Adekunle at Lagos House, Marina, where we discussed the role of young people, education and sports in building a better future for Lagos and Nigeria. We spoke about the need to give more young people access to quality education and technical skills to build careers. Through the OPay Scholars programme, students across the country are receiving training, scholarships and pathways into work. I appreciate the visit and I believe that partnerships between government and the private sector can help create more opportunities for our young people. I also look forward to the grand finale of the OPay Empowering Futures Conference 2.0 on the 27th of November.

The General Manager/Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA), Afolabi Solebo, Esq., urges Lagosians to remain alert to persistent digital marketing tactics during the festive shopping season. Endless sale notifications, repeated festive deal reminders, and constant prompts to shop can create pressure and push consumers into making unnecessary or impulsive purchases. Remember, not every deal is worth your money! Pause before you click. Think before you buy. Shop smart, not under pressure! For consumer complaints and enquiries, contact LASCOPA through its toll-free helpline: 080 0005 2726 or Email [email protected] / [email protected] In Lagos State, Consumers are Kings @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo @tunbosunogunbanwo @gboyegaakosile @BarrBimbola @Mr_JAGs @Riddwane @lasgcopa #AGreaterLagosRising #LASG

LAGOS REAFFIRMS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DRAINAGE ENCROACHMENT, INTENSIFIES FLOOD MITIGATION EFFORTS … As Commissioner Inspects Odo Iya Alaro, Surulere, Osborne Foreshore … Targets 90–95% Flood Abatement Success
 The Lagos State Government, on Saturday, reaffirmed its commitment to protecting drainage infrastructure and enforcing environmental regulations against encroachment. This reaffirmation was made by Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, when he conducted an on-the-spot assessment of strategic locations across the state to address public complaints and ensure the integrity of drainage right-of-way. Wahab explained that the exercise was part of the government’s proactive approach to addressing issues raised by residents, as well as monitoring projects identified for intervention by the Ministry.  The inspection tour covered Odo Iya Alaro by Opebi Link Bridge, Modupe Johnson Crescent, off Adeniran Ogunsanya, Surulere, and Osborne Foreshore Phase II Estate, Ikoyi, where the Commissioner assessed reported cases of encroachment, verified drainage alignments and reassured residents of the government’s commitment to safeguarding public infrastructure and private property. Speaking on the state’s flood mitigation efforts ahead of the next rainy season, Wahab stated that Lagos had recorded between 75 and 80 per cent success in its flood abatement initiatives, while emphasising that achieving complete elimination of flooding was unrealistic given the state’s coastal location and geographical peculiarities. Wahab further disclosed that the present administration had remained deliberate in its approach to flood management through year-round deployment of the Emergency Flood Abatement Gang (EFAG), investment in resilient drainage infrastructure, the ban on Styrofoam food containers and policies aimed at transitioning away from single-use plastics. The Commissioner also advised residents to take necessary precautions against the prevailing hot weather conditions, including regular hydration and adequate water intake. He noted that extreme weather events occurring across different parts of the world further demonstrated the reality of climate change and the need for Lagos to continue strengthening its environmental resilience. Wahab reiterated that the state government would sustain its monitoring of drainage infrastructure, enforce regulations against unauthorised encroachment and ensure that ongoing and planned projects complied with approved environmental standards. He urged residents to cooperate with the government by respecting drainage right-of-way, reporting suspected encroachments and supporting initiatives aimed at building a cleaner, safer and flood-resilient Lagos. @jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @tokunbo_wahab @LasgMOE @gbenga_omo @gboyegaakosile @BarrBimbola @Mr_JAGs @Riddwane #AGreaterLagosRising #LASG

Before you call it empty land, ask yourself: Where will the rainwater go when the wetland is gone? Wetlands are not wastelands. They are vital natural ecosystems that absorb excess rainwater, store floodwater, support biodiversity and help protect communities from erosion. When we reclaim wetlands, block natural waterways or build on drainage channels without the necessary approvals, we interfere with nature's drainage system. The consequences can be devastating: increased flooding, erosion, loss of biodiversity and damage to properties. Development must not come at the expense of environmental sustainability. Let us protect what protects us! Protect our wetlands. Keep our drainage channels open. Build responsibly. 🌱 Let nature breathe. @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo @tunbosunogunbanwo @gboyegaakosile @BarrBimbola @Mr_JAGs @Riddwane #AGreaterLagosRising #LASG #LagosEnvironment #EnvironmentalProtection #FloodPrevention #OwnYourEnvironment

BEYOND THE RUNWAY: WHERE LAGOS BECAME THE STORY Lagos Fashion Week has been making history since 2011. Founded in 2011 by Omoyemi Akerele. Now Africa's largest fashion event. Over 60 designers, over 40,000 fashion lovers every year. But this year, it went BEYOND THE RUNWAY. It was no longer just fashion. It was African creativity, identity and pride on the world stage. You feel the culture. You see the royalty. You see the procession. Then HE appeared. Behind every great moment, there are great hands that built it. 👏 Yes, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was the high point. He carried Ibile beyond the runway and made Lagos a centrepiece for Nigeria. But let us be honest. The Governor did not sew this masterpiece. He wore it. This masterpiece was created by the brilliant designers of Lagos Fashion Week @UgoMonye. The hands that cut the agbada. The minds that chose the coral. The eyes that saw royalty in fabric and turned it into art. They designed it. He featured it. Lagos celebrated it. That is the beauty of Ibile Culture. The designer creates. The leader carries. The people celebrate. And that is what BEYOND THE RUNWAY truly means. It is not about the walk. It is about what the walk represents. Culture. Craft. Leadership. Lagos. So today, we celebrate all of them. To the designers, thank you for your creativity, your craft, and your genius. To Mr Governor, thank you for giving their work the biggest stage in Nigeria. Drop a 🔥 for the designers. Drop a 👑 for Mr Governor. Tag a Lagos designer you are proud of. Eko o ni baje!

LAGOS FIRST LADY LEADS ‘STOP TB’ CAMPAIGN IN HEALTH DISTRICT II, KOSOFE LGA … Urges Lagosians Not To Ignore Persistent Cough The First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. (Mrs.) Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, led the ‘Stop TB’ Awareness and Sensitisation Programme at Ojota Motor Park, Kosofe Local Government Area, with a call on residents to prioritise early testing and shun stigma against people living with Tuberculosis. Speaking at the event, organised by Lagos State Health District II in conjunction with Kosofe Local Government, the First Lady said TB remains a public health concern but is preventable and curable when detected early and treated appropriately. She warned that a cough lasting two weeks or more, unexplained weight loss, fever, night sweats and prolonged weakness should not be ignored or treated as an ordinary cold. The First Lady reassured residents that TB testing and treatment are free at designated government health facilities across Lagos State, and urged transport workers, traders and commuters at Ojota to take advantage of the free screening provided at the park. She also called for an end to stigmatisation, noting that people living with TB need understanding, encouragement and support to complete their treatment. In her welcome address, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Health District II, Dr. Adenike Oluwo, thanked the First Lady for her commitment to the health of Lagos residents. Dr. Oluwo disclosed that Health District II, comprising Kosofe, Ikorodu and Somolu, has 66 Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course (DOTS) centres, including private facilities, providing free TB treatment and support. She urged residents to get screened, encourage others, and ensure newborns receive the BCG vaccine at birth to protect them against TB. In his remarks, the Vice Chairman, Kosofe Local Government, Hon. Oluwole Sosanya, commended the First Lady and Health District II for bringing the life-saving campaign to Ojota. He described the programme as timely and laudable, and urged residents of Kosofe to take their health seriously, get screened, and spread the message to their families and neighbours. He assured that Kosofe Local Government will continue to partner with Health District II to promote good health and well-being in the community. The programme featured free TB screening, health talks, and sensitisation of transport union members, traders and commuters. @jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @JokeSanwoolu @gbenga_omo @gboyegaakosile @BarrBimbola @Mr_JAGs @Riddwane #AGreaterLagosRising #LASG
