LASPARK Intensifies Efforts To Regenerate Degraded Areas

“The reclamation operation is to salvage the aesthetic environment of strategic areas in the State that has been defiled by chaotic activities in recent years. This is also in line with the THEMES Agenda of promoting healthy living, sustainable environment and safety of lives and property in any part of the State”, the General Manager disclosed.

Adebiyi-Abiola revealed that Government is desirous of uplifting the State to open it for more decent commercial and economic ventures that would connect the people to the aspiration of government.

She pointed out that LASPARK’s relentless effort to reclaim open places for landscaping and beautification is to complement the administration’s unwavering commitment to the greening project and to further create an appealing ambience befitting of a 21st-century city.

According to her, the Agency has commenced the clearing of vegetation on some highways as strategic intervention and sanitisation to bring sanity to the corridors that had been degraded and constitute an environmental nuisance. These include the Lagos-Badagry Expressway from Eric Moore, Orile Iganmu and Mile 2 to Trade Fair.

She affirmed that in line with the Agency’s mandate, all road setbacks, road embankments, loops, medians and open spaces across Lagos would be aggressively sanitised and adorned with trees and beautiful flowers in a bid to ensuring a greener and healthier environment statewide.

Adebiyi-Abiola also acknowledged that making the environment clean and habitable for everyone would enhance socio-economic pursuit and implored citizens to conduct themselves in a manner that will help preserve the environment, as the government is poised more than ever to prosecute anyone or group of persons undermining its efforts towards strengthening the greening culture across the State.
