The Lagos State Government has assured residents that delays in waste evacuation experienced in some parts of the state will soon ease as it rehabilitates key waste management facilities and improves operational capacity.

The assurance was given by the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), which said ongoing rehabilitation of Road E at the Olusosun disposal facility, Ojota, and other interventions would enhance access for waste collection vehicles and improve evacuation operations across the metropolis.

Olusosun had earlier been temporarily shut for regular waste disposal operations as part of plans to transition the facility towards a waste-to-clean-energy project.

The Managing Director of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, gave the assurance on Tuesday during an inspection of the rehabilitation works at the facility.
