The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has evacuated over 18,660 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste across its disposal facilities in one week, following operational improvements at the Olusosun Disposal Facility.
The development came after the rehabilitation of the facility’s access road and the opening of additional waste disposal platforms, which have enhanced truck movement and increased evacuation capacity.
LAWMA Managing Director, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, disclosed this during an exclusive interview with Vanguard at the agency’s headquarters in Ijora-Olopa, Lagos.
Gbadegesin said the authority recorded 1,866 truck trips to its disposal sites between July 28 and August 3, 2026, describing the feat as evidence that strategic infrastructure investment was yielding positive results.
