LAWMA increases fleet for improved waste management

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has said that it has increased its fleets for more waste management for a cleaner Lagos,

This is according to a statement signed by Mr Ibrahim Odumboni, the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA.

Odumboni expressed readiness to cater to the waste management needs of residents during, and after the festivities adding that, to achieve this goal, the agency had stepped up its operations by adding more fleets across all districts in the state.

Odumboni added that Private Sector Participant (PSP) operators had been directed to work efficiently in their designated areas irrespective of assigned days.

He said that the agency would provide back-up services to bridge any gap when the need arises.

“PSP operators have also been mandated to ensure prompt evacuation of waste generated by tenements, during and after the festive period,” Odumboni said.

He urged Lagos residents to avoid acts that could pollute the environment, and advised motorists to drive with caution, considering the sanitation workers (street sweepers) and other service providers discharging their duties.
