What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) is managing waste in Lagos, which is experiencing rapid population growth and urbanization. The volume of waste generated has risen from an initial estimate of 13,000 tonnes to approximately 17,000 tonnes daily. LAWMA has also taken action against service providers, disengaging street sweepers and their supervisors due to allegations of illegal dumping in specific hotspots. Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government is procuring 3,000 compactor trucks over three years and has warned that failing to pay for services by Private Sector Participation operators could constitute a criminal offense.
