The Lagos Waste Management Authority, through its academy, has launched the 2026 edition of its annual Summer School, reaffirming the agency’s commitment to raising a new generation of environmentally responsible children equipped with practical knowledge and lifelong skills in waste management, recycling and environmental stewardship.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin, declared the four-week programme open on Monday at the LAWMA headquarters in Ijora, according to a recent statement obtained by The PUNCH.
This year’s edition was themed ‘Young Eco-Heroes: Protecting Our Environment.’
He described children and young people as critical stakeholders in the quest for a cleaner and more sustainable Lagos, noting that lasting environmental transformation could only be achieved through continuous education and positive behavioural change.
