Dear LAWMA,
It has been over 4 weeks since waste was collected at the Sanyaolu street axis, in Old Oko-Oba, Agege.
Residents who can afford to have been forced to buy extra waste bins due to the overflow. For context, waste used to be collected every Monday.
Please fix.
LAWMA Steps Up Waste Evacuation Efforts Across Lagos
The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has reassured residents that ongoing measures are being implemented to improve waste evacuation and environmental sanitation across the state.
The Managing Director/CEO of LAWMA, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, stated that the government is addressing current operational challenges through immediate and long-term interventions. These include improving access to disposal facilities, optimising Transfer Loading Stations, deploying additional waste collection trucks, and strengthening enforcement against indiscriminate waste disposal.
He noted that over 418,500 tonnes of waste were processed in May 2026 despite operational challenges, while about 3,000 waste blackspots are being cleared daily. He also highlighted ongoing investments in recycling, waste diversion, and new waste management infrastructure aimed at improving service delivery and creating a cleaner, healthier Lagos.
LAWMA urged residents to patronise approved PSP operators, dispose of waste responsibly, and support government efforts to maintain a sustainable environment. The Authority assured residents that service delivery will continue to improve as the various interventions take effect.
I think it’s just as important to be a leaver, as it is to be a lover. When people feel like you’ll tolerate anything they throw your way they think they can do anything they want. Master the art of loving yourself enough to walk away from situations that don’t serve you.
Where are those Lagosians that said nowhere in Nigeria is cold enough for someone to wear winter jackets 😭😭😭 Please I will pay your transport, come to Jos
Stop calling everyone you meet in life a friend. Define the type of relationship you have from the beginning & respect its boundaries: they are there to protect you. Friendship is one of the most significant forms of relationships, & the label shouldn't be used casually.
