Lagos Warns Against Highway Ram Sales for Eid-el-Kabir

The Lagos State government, represented by Kunle Adeshina, spokesperson for the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, has issued a warning to traders against selling rams on highways during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations. Tokunbo Wahab, during a media briefing at Alausa, reiterated that street trading is prohibited and will be enforced across the state.

The government aims to prevent traders from taking advantage of the festive season to sell livestock inappropriately, which compromises the environment. Residents are urged to dispose of waste properly during the celebrations, with the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) committed to ensuring cleanliness.

Wahab stressed that the government will not tolerate the display of livestock on major highways and warned against erecting illegal stalls or dumping refuse. The state government encourages residents to utilize parks and gardens for relaxation during the festivities while maintaining a clean environment.
