The Commissioner for the
Environment in Lagos State Tunji Bello has told residents to beautify their
houses or pay N250, 000 fine or the amount the state would incur if it decides
to carry out the beautification.
Bello stated this at the inauguration of the Lagos State Parks and
Gardens Agency at Alausa, Ikeja on Tuesday.
“A violation of this would attract N250, 000 or the amount the
state would incur if it decides to carry out the beautification, or six months
imprisonment or other non-custodian sentences…also anyone caught felling trees
in the state or trimming
them without permission would be fined a minimum of N50, 000 or
sent to one year imprisonment.” he said
“It is also an offence to walk on lawns and gardens. Urinating,
defecating in any of the parks, gardens and open spaces; loitering or
soliciting for illegal purposes, smoking and dumping refuse among others in the
parks are also offences.” he added.
