This is according to a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Ministry of Environment & Water Resources, Kunle Adeshina on Saturday.
Addressing the media during an inspection tour of enforcement sites, Wahab emphasised the state’s determination to halt the encroachment on wetlands.
“Wetlands are natural habitations whose value cannot be replaced by money,” he stated.
“It is essential to do more to preserve nature and protect these wetlands from further encroachment, as it is recently being experienced in most parts of the state,” he added.
During the tour, Wahab, accompanied by Special Adviser on Environment, Mr Olakunle Rotimi-Akodu, and other senior officials from the ministry, inspected the TREM drainage channel located at Anthony Oke, along the Oshodi Expressway.
