The Lagos state government has begun the enumeration exercise of communication Masts and Towers across the state.
The exercise was in collaboration with the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) and would be for three months.
A statement signed by GM/CEO Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA), Prince Oyekanmi Elegushi, said the primary objective of the exercise was to update the agency’s database with accurate and comprehensive information on all communications, telecoms, radio, television and security infrastructure within the state.
Elegushi added “This effort will not only enhance regulatory oversight but also ensure the safety and well-being of all residents by identifying and addressing any potential structural or environmental concerns associated with masts and towers.
“We urge all stakeholders, including telecom operators, broadcasting companies, banks, security companies, property owners, and the general public, to cooperate fully with our team of enumerators during this exercise”.
While maintaining that the general public’s support is crucial in achieving a safer and more efficient telecommunications landscape in Lagos, Prince Oyekanmi added that for more information or inquiries, the Agency can be contacted through its social media handles on Instagram: @official_lasimra; X (formerly Twitter: @officialLASIMRA; Facebook: OfficialLasimra and Website: www.lasimra.gov.ng
