The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) on Tuesday seized a large quantity of banned styrofoam food packs discovered at a warehouse located at No. 6 Ogusefunmi Street, off Nurudeen Street in Anifowoshe, Ikeja.

This operation was carried out after a whistleblower tipped off the authorities, leading to the discovery by the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources.

The state’s Commissioner for the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, shared details about the operation, confirming that LAGESC officials responded swiftly to the information provided.

The warehouse in question was being used as a storage facility for the banned styrofoam packs, which are prohibited due to their harmful environmental impact.

Wahab emphasized the importance of such actions, stating that the state government remains committed to ensuring that illegal practices detrimental to the environment are curbed.

The use of styrofoam, which is non-biodegradable and poses a serious environmental threat, has been a significant concern for Lagos State, leading to its ban.

Despite this, there have been reports of individuals and businesses continuing to use and distribute the material.

“Thanks to the whistleblower, we were able to locate the warehouse and prevent the further distribution of these harmful packs,” Wahab said, noting that LAGESC’s proactive response highlights the importance of public cooperation in environmental matters.

The state government has reiterated its commitment to enforcing environmental regulations and encouraged citizens to remain vigilant and report any violations.

The confiscation of these packs is part of a broader effort to promote sustainable practices and ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for Lagos residents.

The successful operation serves as a reminder that the fight against environmentally damaging materials like styrofoam requires both governmental action and community involvement.

As Lagos continues its battle against pollution and environmental degradation, officials warn that those found violating the state’s environmental laws will face strict penalties.

The confiscated items are now in the custody of the state government, and further investigations are underway to identify the individuals behind the illegal storage of the banned materials.

The government assures the public that it will continue to crack down on activities that threaten the environment, urging businesses to comply with the ban and seek environmentally friendly alternatives.

Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has opened up about how the death of his wife, Abiodun, in 2009 pushed him into what he describes as a mission of revenge against the devil. Speaking during the Global Workers’ Conference, Kumuyi revealed that he received the heartbreaking news just after preaching at Faith Clinic.

He believes the devil struck while he was away from home. Since then, he said his response has been to take the gospel even further, using his ministry to fight back. In his words, the next chapter of his calling has been all about “revenge.”

Since her passing, Kumuyi has intensified his efforts, traveling across nearly every local government in Nigeria, reaching all African nations, and visiting continents around the world. He remarried in 2010, but says his wife’s death marked a turning point in how far and wide he spreads the gospel.

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.

Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.

Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.

On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.

The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.
