The Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has said it will impose a ₦ 250,000 fine or a month’s jail term on environmental offenders from July 1, 2025.

The ministry said offenders who dump refuse illegally, litter the streets, or deface the environment would face penalties.

The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who disclosed this on the government’s official X handle on Wednesday, said Lagos would no longer tolerate deliberate environmental abuse.

“During the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources media briefing yesterday, we made it clear that Lagos will no longer tolerate deliberate environmental abuse.

“From July 1, full enforcement of the ban on single-use plastics begins. Offenders who dump refuse illegally, litter the streets, or deface our environment will face stiff penalties, up to ₦250,000 fine or three months in jail.

“We’ve arrested over 3,000 offenders and counting, and we’re ramping up surveillance and advocacy,” he said.

He reiterated that the law on cart pushers still stands, public defecation remains banned, and illegal street trading will not be tolerated.

“This is about saving our environment, for us and the generations to come. Let’s celebrate the coming Sallah with cleanliness and responsibility.”

He advised Lagos residents to bag their waste and not dump it in drains or medians.

“Hand over refuse to your assigned PSP operator. We all have a duty to protect our Lagos. The time for change is now!” he added.
