Hamzat said this on Saturday during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in Festac, Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos.
Hamzat said the additional trucks would complement the operations of Private Sector Participation, PSP, operators and expand the state’s capacity to evacuate refuse, particularly from areas where existing arrangements were struggling to meet demand.
