World Environment Day reinforces commitment towards cleaner Lagos--LAWMA


The Lagos Waste Management Authority,LAWMA says it used the the occasion of yesterday's World Environment Day to reinforce commitment towards establishing a cleaner and healthier Lagos.

LAWMA had on the eve of the world Environment Day celebration, flagged off operation "Lagos at 4AM", an intervention to quickly sanitize  Lagos Metropolis , through maximum deployment of trucks from 4 am daily for prompt evacuation of gathered wastes.


In a publication on its official Social Media Page, LAWMA implored all Lagosians to be part of the noble cause by making sure they do not pollute the environment via improper waste disposal.

" As we mark this year's #WorldEnvironmentDay, we want to reiterate our commitment to establishing a cleaner and healthier Lagos. 

"Be a part of this noble cause by making sure you don't pollute the environment via improper waste disposal".

In a related development, Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said working with LAWMA , the PSP and other relevant Stakeholders, the right attention was being paid to waste management value chain.

Governor Sanwo-Olu dropped the hint shortly after visiting the Olusosun landfill at Ojota.

He observed that the landfill was over-utilized , receiving about Ten Thousand tons of wastes daily.
