LAGOS EXPANDS FREE HIV SCREENING TO PUBLIC SERVANTS, TRADE FAIR VISITORS … As LSACA Takes Testing, Counselling Services Closer To Residents To Promote Early Diagnosis, Access To Treatment The Lagos State Government has intensified its HIV prevention and awareness campaign with the provision of free and confidential HIV testing and counselling services for public servants and visitors to the ongoing Y2026 International Trade Fair in Lagos. The interventions, implemented by the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA), are aimed at expanding access to HIV services, promoting early diagnosis and encouraging residents to know their HIV status as part of routine healthcare. At the Public Service Week health screening exercise, the Head of Service, Lagos State, Mr. Bode Agoro, officially declared open the free screening programme, emphasising the importance of prioritising the health and well-being of public servants. Mr. Agoro noted that access to preventive healthcare, including HIV screening, was essential to building a healthy, productive and efficient workforce. He urged public servants across the State to take advantage of the opportunity to access confidential testing, professional counselling and accurate information on HIV prevention, transmission and treatment. He further encouraged workers to make regular health checks a personal responsibility, stressing that maintaining good health was vital to effective public service delivery. In a related intervention, LSACA has commenced free HIV Testing and Counselling services at the Lagos Pavilion, Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), as part of its activities at the ongoing Y2026 International Trade Fair. The exercise, which began on Friday, November 6, is scheduled to run for ten days, ending on Sunday, November 15, 2026. The initiative provides visitors, exhibitors, traders and other participants with convenient access to free and confidential HIV screening within the Trade Fair environment. The Agency’s team also provides counselling, preventive health information and guidance on linkage to appropriate treatment and care services for individuals who require further support. Speaking on the interventions, the Chief Executive Officer of LSACA, Dr. Folakemi Animashaun, reaffirmed the Lagos State Government’s commitment to making HIV prevention, testing and treatment services accessible, confidential and free from discrimination. Dr. Animashaun emphasised that knowing one’s HIV status remains a critical step towards preventing new infections and improving health outcomes. She explained that early diagnosis enables individuals who test positive to commence treatment promptly, maintain good health and live productive lives. She therefore urged public servants, Trade Fair visitors and residents across the State to take advantage of the free screening opportunities, noting that HIV testing should be embraced as a routine healthcare practice rather than something reserved for when an individual suspects an infection. The LSACA Chief Executive further reiterated the Agency’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with Ministries, Departments and Agencies, development partners, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to expand the reach of HIV prevention, testing, treatment and care services across Lagos State. Members of the public are encouraged to visit the LSACA screening point at the Lagos Pavilion, Tafawa Balewa Square, during the ongoing Trade Fair. Residents can also access free HIV testing, counselling and other essential services at designated health facilities across Lagos State. LSACA remains committed to a Lagos city where everyone can access HIV services, know their status and receive the support needed to live healthy and productive lives. @jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @LSACA_NG @LagosHOS @gbenga_omo @gboyegaakosile @BarrBimbola @Mr_JAGs @Riddwane #AGreaterLagosRising #LASG

What if science could do more than drive innovation and discoveries? What if it could also bring nations together, build trust and create lasting peace? Science has the ability to bring people and nations together, even where differences exist. Through shared knowledge, research and innovation, countries can build stronger partnerships, find common solutions to global challenges and create a more peaceful world. This year's theme, "Common Ground Through Science Diplomacy," highlights the importance of using scientific knowledge and collaboration to bridge differences, strengthen relationships and address challenges that affect us all. As we continue to build a greater Lagos, let us embrace science, encourage innovation and create opportunities for collaboration because a better future is one we can achieve together.

Remember, not every deal is worth your money! Pause before you click. Think before you buy. Shop smart, not under pressure!

LAGOS REAFFIRMS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DRAINAGE ENCROACHMENT, INTENSIFIES FLOOD MITIGATION EFFORTS … As Commissioner Inspects Odo Iya Alaro, Surulere, Osborne Foreshore … Targets 90–95% Flood Abatement Success
 The Lagos State Government, on Saturday, reaffirmed its commitment to protecting drainage infrastructure and enforcing environmental regulations against encroachment. This reaffirmation was made by Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, when he conducted an on-the-spot assessment of strategic locations across the state to address public complaints and ensure the integrity of drainage right-of-way. Wahab explained that the exercise was part of the government’s proactive approach to addressing issues raised by residents, as well as monitoring projects identified for intervention by the Ministry.  The inspection tour covered Odo Iya Alaro by Opebi Link Bridge, Modupe Johnson Crescent, off Adeniran Ogunsanya, Surulere, and Osborne Foreshore Phase II Estate, Ikoyi, where the Commissioner assessed reported cases of encroachment, verified drainage alignments and reassured residents of the government’s commitment to safeguarding public infrastructure and private property. Speaking on the state’s flood mitigation efforts ahead of the next rainy season, Wahab stated that Lagos had recorded between 75 and 80 per cent success in its flood abatement initiatives, while emphasising that achieving complete elimination of flooding was unrealistic given the state’s coastal location and geographical peculiarities. Wahab further disclosed that the present administration had remained deliberate in its approach to flood management through year-round deployment of the Emergency Flood Abatement Gang (EFAG), investment in resilient drainage infrastructure, the ban on Styrofoam food containers and policies aimed at transitioning away from single-use plastics. The Commissioner also advised residents to take necessary precautions against the prevailing hot weather conditions, including regular hydration and adequate water intake. He noted that extreme weather events occurring across different parts of the world further demonstrated the reality of climate change and the need for Lagos to continue strengthening its environmental resilience. Wahab reiterated that the state government would sustain its monitoring of drainage infrastructure, enforce regulations against unauthorised encroachment and ensure that ongoing and planned projects complied with approved environmental standards. He urged residents to cooperate with the government by respecting drainage right-of-way, reporting suspected encroachments and supporting initiatives aimed at building a cleaner, safer and flood-resilient Lagos. @jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @tokunbo_wahab @LasgMOE @gbenga_omo @gboyegaakosile @BarrBimbola @Mr_JAGs @Riddwane #AGreaterLagosRising #LASG

Before you call it empty land, ask yourself: Where will the rainwater go when the wetland is gone? Wetlands are not wastelands. They are vital natural ecosystems that absorb excess rainwater, store floodwater, support biodiversity and help protect communities from erosion. When we reclaim wetlands, block natural waterways or build on drainage channels without the necessary approvals, we interfere with nature's drainage system. The consequences can be devastating: increased flooding, erosion, loss of biodiversity and damage to properties. Development must not come at the expense of environmental sustainability. Let us protect what protects us! Protect our wetlands. Keep our drainage channels open. Build responsibly. 🌱 Let nature breathe. @jidesanwoolu @gbenga_omo @tunbosunogunbanwo @gboyegaakosile @BarrBimbola @Mr_JAGs @Riddwane #AGreaterLagosRising #LASG #LagosEnvironment #EnvironmentalProtection #FloodPrevention #OwnYourEnvironment
