 LSWMO OPENS ZONAL OFFICE TO SCALE UP OPERATIONS


In a decisive move to deepen service delivery and strengthen regulatory oversight across high-density commercial districts, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) has announced the opening of a new Zonal Office at Iru-Victoria Island Local Council Development Area.


The new office is strategically positioned to improve operational response time, enhance compliance monitoring, and foster closer engagement with corporate organisations, hospitality establishments, facility managers and residents within the business district and its adjoining corridors.


Speaking on the inauguration, the General Manager of LSWMO, Engr. Adefemi Afolabi described the development as a critical step in advancing safe, sustainable and regulated wastewater management in Lagos State.


He noted that as a rapidly expanding commercial hub with increasing wastewater generation, Victoria Island, Iru and Eti-Osa require stronger institutional presence to ensure adherence to environmental standards and the State’s sanitation laws.


According to him, the establishment of the zonal office will strengthen enforcement of wastewater regulations, improve monitoring of septic systems and treatment facilities and enhance collaboration with non-state actors and private sector operators.


“It will further strengthen our compliance framework by enabling faster response to environmental complaints and infractions, tightening supervision of wastewater discharge activities, and ensuring strict adherence to sanitation and environmental regulations within the zone”, he added.


Engr. Afolabi acknowledged that effective wastewater governance in a megacity like Lagos demands decentralised operations, data-driven monitoring and proactive stakeholder engagement.


He reiterated that the Office remains committed to protecting public health, preventing pollution of water bodies and safeguarding the environment for present and future generations.


The Zonal Office is expected to serve as a model for improved field coordination and institutional efficiency as LSWMO continues to expand its footprint across the State.


Members of the public are implored to report any wastewater-related infractions through the agency’s official lines: 08022022397, 07025332163, or through its social media platforms: @lswmomedia on Instagram and Twitter, and The Lagos Wastewater Management Office on Facebook.
