The Lagos State Government has dismissed five officials of the Central Business District (CBD) for misconduct and unprofessional behavior.

Special Adviser to the Governor on CBD, Mrs. Bola Olumegbon-Lawal, disclosed this on Thursday. She spoke at a ministerial press briefing marking the second anniversary of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term in office.

According to her, the dismissed officers violated the standards expected from public officials. She emphasized that the state government has zero tolerance for misconduct within its workforce.

In addition, Olumegbon-Lawal issued a stern warning to the public. She cautioned against any form of assault or aggression towards government officials on duty. “We will not allow our officers to be harassed or attacked while serving the people,” she said.

Sanwo-Olu Expands CBD Efforts to Apapa

As part of ongoing reforms, Governor Sanwo-Olu has approved the establishment of the Apapa Central Business District Office. This new office aims to address infrastructure issues and enhance the ease of doing business in the area.

Olumegbon-Lawal said the decision followed the success recorded in Lagos Island and Ikeja business districts. She noted that the Apapa expansion would help replicate similar improvements in traffic flow, cleanliness, and commercial structure.

The Special Adviser highlighted key achievements under the governor’s leadership. These include better road networks, improved waste management, and stronger law enforcement in business zones.

She explained that the CBD’s core mission involves traffic control, environmental sanitation, and eliminating illegal street trading. “We are creating a safe, clean, and organized space for business to thrive,” she stated.

To strengthen these efforts, the CBD has partnered with several agencies. These include the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). Together, they are working to maintain safety and ensure compliance with state regulations.

Furthermore, Olumegbon-Lawal announced ongoing enforcement actions. The CBD has intensified the removal of illegal structures and continues to enforce the “No Street Trading” policy across key commercial districts.

She emphasized the role of public cooperation in sustaining progress. “We can’t do it alone,” she said. “We need traders, transport operators, and community leaders to join hands with us.”

To foster collaboration, the CBD now holds regular meetings with transport unions and market associations. These sessions provide a platform to resolve disputes, share feedback, and strengthen partnerships.

Olumegbon-Lawal reaffirmed the government’s dedication to building a business-friendly environment in Lagos. She urged all residents to follow traffic and sanitation laws to keep public spaces safe and functional.

“Lagos is growing fast, and our business hubs must reflect that progress,” she concluded.
