LAGOS—THE Lagos State Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, yesterday, assured residents that the waste backlog across the state will soon be a thing of the past.
LAWMA’s Managing Director, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said this during the commissioning of the rehabilitated Road E and newly constructed disposal platforms at the Olusosun Disposal Facility, Ojota area of the state.
Addressing newsmen at the ceremony, Gbadegesin described the project as a strategic intervention designed to eliminate operational bottlenecks, improve access within the disposal facility and enhance the efficiency of waste evacuation operations across Lagos.
He said: “We announced that we’re winding down activities at the site and that we have a timeline. If you recall, we said 18 months from the time that we did groundbreaking on construction of the transfer loading station. What we’ve done here is to reclaim a portion so that we can have somewhere to dispose as we wind down the activity.
