Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the recruitment of an additional 1,400 officers into the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC/KAI) as part of his administration’s renewed effort to strengthen environmental enforcement and sustain a cleaner, healthier city.
According to the state government, the new recruitment drive is aimed at supporting the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources in maintaining orderliness, ensuring public health, and promoting environmental sustainability across Lagos.
The new officers will help monitor compliance with environmental laws, curb indiscriminate dumping of refuse, discourage street trading in restricted areas, and enforce proper waste management practices in all parts of the state.
“This expansion will boost our capacity to ensure strict environmental compliance and maintain cleaner, healthier, and more orderly public spaces across Lagos,” the statement read.
Governor Sanwo-Olu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to creating a Cleaner Lagos that prioritizes public health, safety, and environmental sustainability, noting that effective sanitation enforcement remains crucial to the state’s broader urban renewal and beautification agenda.
The new officers, once trained and deployed, are expected to work closely with existing sanitation teams and community stakeholders to sustain a culture of cleanliness and environmental responsibility in line with the state’s long-term Cleaner Lagos Initiative.
