Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made this commitment during the 2025 World Consumer Rights Day celebration, which was organised by the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA).

The event, held under the theme, “A Just Transition to a Sustainable Lifestyle,” highlighted the importance of equipping consumers with the knowledge and resources to make environmentally responsible decisions while ensuring their basic rights and quality of life are not compromised.

Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasised the need for global action to support sustainability in a just and inclusive manner.

He pointed to Lagos State’s ongoing circular economy initiatives, clean energy programmes, and strategies to reduce plastic waste as key steps in advancing a greener future for the state.

In his address, he also called on local businesses to adopt sustainable practices and ethical marketing strategies that not only improve their reputation but also contribute to a more environmentally conscious Lagos.

“Empowering consumers with the tools to make informed choices is integral to creating a sustainable future for Lagos. This transition must be fair, inclusive, and supportive of all our residents,” Sanwo-Olu stated.

The Governor’s call for action aligns with global trends, urging all sectors to participate in efforts to protect the environment and reduce the carbon footprint.

He highlighted that the state’s policies aim to integrate sustainability into everyday life through practical, scalable actions.

In addition to sustainability measures, the Lagos government also made significant strides in the education sector.

The state recently reported that over the past six years, it has constructed 1,290 classroom blocks and rehabilitated 386 others.

These efforts have been complemented by the supply of approximately 208,000 pieces of composite furniture to schools.

Hakeem Smith, Chairman of the Special Committee on the Rehabilitation of Public Schools (SCRPS), shared these updates during a media briefing, stressing that the committee would continue its work to renovate more schools across the state.

Smith also mentioned that traditional teaching tools have been replaced with modern interactive screens, allowing teachers to incorporate digital learning tools into their lessons, ensuring students can access lessons through devices like iPads or smartphones.
