The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has expressed readiness to
cater to the waste management needs of residents before, during, and
after the Easter festivities.
According to the press release made available to theforesight.com.ng through the Director, Public Affairs, LAWMA, Mrs. Kadiri Folashade today.
She stated that the Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni, affirmed the agency’s commitment to maintaining a clean and healthy environment in Lagos, during and after the Easter celebrations.
Mr Odumboni said: to achieve this goal, the agency has stepped up its operations by adding more fleets across all districts in the state, adding that PSP operators had also been directed to work efficiently in their designated areas irrespective of assigned days, with the agency providing backup services to bridge any gap.
“We want to assure residents that LAWMA has made adequate arrangements
by adding more trucks across all the districts to ensure that this year’s Easter celebration was observed in an environmentally friendly atmosphere. PSP operators have also been mandated to ensure prompt evacuation of waste generated by tenements, during and after the festive period”, Odumboni said.
He implored the populace 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 during the period.
While wishing Lagosians a clean Easter celebration, the LAWMA boss urged
residents to bag their waste, patronize assigned PSP operators, and promptly pay their waste management bills.
