The Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ikeja branch, Onyekachi Ubani on Monday urged the Lagos State government to use persuasion in enforcing the new Parks and Gardens law which was recently established in the state.
The new law makes it mandatory for landlords of landscapes to beautify the perimeter areas of their properties. Violation of this law, according to the commissioner, shall warrant the penalty of N250, 000 or any amount the state shall incur in doing same on behalf of the property owner.
Mr, Ubani, who was a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, said while it is important to maintain a decent and clean environment, the government should also consider the living standard of residents of Lagos while enforcing the law.
