Babajide Sanwo-Olu declared a small state of emergency in Lagos to address mounting concerns over indiscriminate refuse disposal and delays in waste evacuation. The state is working to increase the capacity of the Olusosun landfill from its current capacity of 250 to 350 trucks daily to between 350 and 450 trucks daily. This increase will be achieved by expanding the number of tipping points at the landfill from two or three to four or five.
