Again, LAWMA Warns over Incessant Attacks on Workers
The Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, has threatened to henceforth prosecute anyone who attacks its workers while on official duties.
The Managing Director/CEO, Ibrahim Odumboni, gave the warning against the background of a reported attack by suspected miscreants on a LAWMA team, on night duty around Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway.
The LAWMA Boss warned that any of such attacks again, would be met with stiff official reaction, including prosecution, to deter such offenders, in a statement signed by Michael Joseph, the agency’s Assistant Director, Public Affairs.
According to the statement, Odumboni said, “We are totally disappointed to hear about attacks on our workers, on official duty. It is totally unacceptable and inhuman. We work round the clock to ensure our environment is healthier and safer for everyone to live.
Our workers do not deserve to be treated that way. Anyone caught in such act again will be made to face the full wrath of the law.”
He further urged the public to always cooperate with the agency’s workers, including the PSP operators, to keep the environment clean,for the good of everyone.
