 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics. However, the emergence of a multipolar world is, of ​course, no easy task; it faces resistance from countries that are not prepared to accept this reality: those who are accustomed to ​thinking i...

 LAWMA FABRICATES WASTE BINS FOR EKITI STATE


… Extends Partnership Offer to Other States at Affordable Rates


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has begun fabricating waste bins for Ekiti State in a partnership aimed at tackling a myriad of waste management and environmental challenges. 


Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, who disclosed this in his office on Tuesday, noted that LAWMA remained committed to ensuring proper waste management practices, within and outside the State, adding that Lagos State was willing to support and partner with other States in all areas of waste management.


He said, "I am happy to announce the partnership between LAWMA and Ekiti State Government, which will see us fabricate their waste bins at a reasonable cost. By fabricating waste bins in-house, we gain greater control over quality, production speed, and ultimately, cost-effectiveness”.


“This allows us to not only ensure a steady supply of bins for Lagos, but also help us to extend our support to other states like Ekiti, which is currently a prime beneficiary of this initiative. LAWMA has assisted some other States before now and we are willing to do more".


Gbadegesin averred that the partnership with Ekiti State shows LAWMA's proactive approach to environmental issues, adding that the Ekiti project would serve as a pilot programme, paving the way for similar partnerships with other states. 


"We believe that effective waste management is not just a Lagos issue, but a national concern. LAWMA's door is open to any state seeking our assistance. We are offering our expertise to provide technical support, training and even manpower, to help other states develop and implement efficient waste management systems", he said.


The LAWMA boss noted that the Authority’s Engineering Department, known for its ingenuity and resourcefulness, has developed a robust and efficient waste bin fabrication process, adding that the department utilised locally sourced materials to produce durable bins, for diverse waste management needs.


“LAWMA's in-house bin fabrication initiative offers several advantages beyond cost-effectiveness and quality control. It fosters skill development and job creation within the agency, promotes local content utilisation, and reduces reliance on imports. Hence, other states who are interested can get the bins at affordable rates”, he stated.
