LAWMA ready for efficient waste management
* … calls on the public to take advantage of the agency’s customer support channels.
The Lagos Waste Management Authority has restated its commitment to maintaining a clean and healthy environment throughout the Easter celebrations.
It assured residents of efficient waste management services before, during, and after the holidays.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the agency’s Managing Director/CEO, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said LAWMA had put all necessary logistics in place to handle the anticipated spike in waste generation across the state.
He assured Lagosians of “seamless waste evacuation across all districts,” emphasising that the agency had fully mobilised its operational resources to ensure prompt and effective service delivery throughout the festive season.
He, however, admonished residents to bag their waste properly, engage only assigned PSP operators, and ensure prompt payment of waste bills to sustain service delivery, adding that the Authority would leave no stone unturned in its quest to achieve environmental sustainability.
He advised residents against illegal dumping, reckless driving, and acts capable of compromising the environment during the celebrations, stressing the importance of public responsibility in realising a cleaner Lagos.
“The operations, street sweepers and sanitation teams will be actively working during the holidays.
“We urge motorists to be cautious and respect the rights and safety of our operations and sanitation workers.
“Let’s remember that keeping Lagos clean is a collective duty”, the statement partly read.
While wishing Lagosians a peaceful and clean Easter celebration, the LAWMA boss called on the public to take advantage of the agency’s customer support channels for any waste-related issues during the period.
