 IWD: LAWMA CELEBRATES FEMALE STREET SANITATION WORKERS

…Conducts Free Health Screening, Rewards Outstanding Workers


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) on Monday celebrated female street sweepers and other female staff members with free health screening and special recognition awards as a way of marking the 2026 International Women’s Day.


The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin delivering the welcome address during the event at the Authority’s headquarters in Ijora Olopa, said that the programme, which brought together street sweepers and other female staff, was designed to honour their dedication, resilience, and contributions to maintaining environmental cleanliness across the State.


He said that major highlights of the celebration were the provision of rewards and free medical screening for female street sweepers and staff to promote preventive healthcare and improve the well-being of women within the Authority.


He commended the female staff of the Authority, especially the sanitation workers for their commitment and invaluable contributions in keeping the city clean and livable, while describing the entire LAWMA female workforce as resilient women worthy of celebration.


 “The contributions of women, including our ever diligent sweepers remain vital to the operational success of LAWMA and the cleanliness of Lagos communities. Equally, women play an important role in shaping the future through their families and communities. Today, we celebrate your resilience and commitment to the state. We want to let you know that you are appreciated, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu appreciates you. We will continue to make you happy”, he said.


The Managing Director affirmed that in addition to the provision of new kits and equipment that would soon be distributed to the sweepers, the Lagos State Governor has approved the sweepers’ health insurance policy and their cards would be ready for collection in some weeks’ time, adding that all the 16,000 sweepers would have free access to medical facilities under the Ilera Eko policy in the State.


The LAWMA helmsman, who inspected the medical screening conducted for the sweepers, urged them to prioritise their health through proper care and regular medical check-ups, while also putting the education and empowerment of their children first, particularly the girl child.


He said that to achieve a successful celebration, LAWMA received support from its partners, including Agatem Pharmaceuticals which provided drugs for the health needs of the workers, Toleram Group, which donated food items for the female sanitation workers, and Waste Care, which provided monetary support to the sweepers in appreciation of their contributions to maintaining environmental cleanliness across Lagos State.


As part of the celebration, five outstanding female street sweepers were honoured and presented with gifts in recognition of their diligence, dedication, and exemplary service to the Authority and the State.


Two sweepers, Mary Omoyosi and Taiwo Azeez, spoke on behalf of their colleagues and commended the Lagos State Government and the management of LAWMA for their commitment to staff welfare, particularly the prompt payment of salaries and the relentless efforts to improve the wellbeing of sanitation workers.
