THE Special Adviser to the Governor on Central Business Districts (CBD), Mr. Gbenga Olanrewaju Oyerinde, has embarked on public advocacy and sensitisation of traders and residents on street trading, illegal parking, dumping of waste on streets and drainages on Tuesday, January 11, 2022.
Mr. Oyerinde reminded operators within the business districts of Lagos of the rules and regulations pertaining to business activities.
“We noted that as the new year begins for business, there is a need to continually enlighten traders and visitors on safety issues, traffic, and environmental laws infringement. Most traders are beginning to lose consciousness of the need to observe health guidelines instituted to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“We have re-strategised, refocused and have printed enlightenment materials to educate visitors and traders within the Lagos Island and Ikeja CBD axis to ensure that everyone coming to the business districts for either business or visiting are sensitised on the need to keep the business district safe and clean at all times”, Mr. Oyerinde said.
He has urged Lagosians to be safety conscious as they visit the business districts, Oyerinde said that the state government agencies will make sure that safety, traffic, environmental, and other security challenges are well managed in the metropolis.
