The Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said that the era of people treating the environment with disdain was over, as the Authority would go hard on individuals and entities that flouted environmental laws of the state.

 

He said, “I want to assure Lagosians that LAWMA is totally committed to establishing proper waste management culture across the metropolis. The Authority will not condone acts of indiscriminate waste dumping, capable of putting the health of residents at risk, and eroding efforts made for a sustainable environment.”

 

Gbadegesin disclosed that the enforcement team of LAWMA has been strategically positioned to work round the metropolis, apprehending those who would want to hide under the cover of darkness, to dump waste at unauthorised locations, adding that the agency was also collaborating with sister agencies like the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), in its determined enforcement drive.

 

He reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to making the cityscape sustainably clean, urging residents to support the Authority’s efforts, by shunning indiscriminate waste disposal, patronising assigned PSP operators, and paying their waste bills promptly.
