Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, has apologised to residents over the state’s waste management challenges, assuring them that the government is taking steps to address the situation.
Wahab made the apology in a statement reposted on his official X handle on Friday from an interview on ARISE Television.
“We had a challenge and we are fixing it,” he said.
The commissioner said the state was transitioning from its long-standing linear waste management system to a circular model that treats waste as a resource rather than waste.
According to him, the new approach is designed to improve environmental sustainability while creating economic value from waste.
