 Eid-El-Fitri: LAWMA Calls for Responsible Waste Disposal


… to provide backup services during the festivities


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has called on residents to properly bag and dispose of their waste, through their PSP operators, during and after the Eid-El-Fitri festivities.


Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, in a statement issued today, disclosed that the Authority had put adequate measures in place to ensure that the celebration was observed in a dirt-free environment.


He said, “As we mark this year’s Eid-El-Fitri, it is important that we do so in an environment-friendly manner. For this reason, we have put adequate measures in place to ensure that cleanliness is maintained across the metropolis during and after this period”.


He noted LAWMA’s resolve to tackle all forms of improper waste disposal in the state, which had led to environmental degradation, appealing to residents to patronise only assigned PSP operators and shun garbage cart pushers, whose activities undermine the agency’s efforts.


Gbadegesin said that PSPs would be working all through the celebration, irrespective of their assigned days, adding that trash bags would be distributed via the waste collectors, to enable residents to bag their refuse properly.


He urged the populace to desist from dumping waste indiscriminately on road medians, canals, uncompleted buildings, and other unauthorised locations, assuring that LAWMA would be providing backup services for PSP operators in areas with service gaps.


“I want to implore residents to shun the act of improper waste disposal at unauthorised locations such as road medians, canals and uncompleted buildings. We want to assure Lagosians that we will be providing backup services in places where they are needed, to ensure proper sanitation in every part of the city”, he stated.


The LAWMA boss appealed to motorists to drive with caution to protect the lives of sanitation workers, who would be active on major roads across the state, during the festive period.


While wishing residents happy celebrations, he advised them to call the agency’s toll-free numbers: 080000LAWMA (08000052962), 07080601020 or 617, for waste management-related issues and inquiries.
