The Lagos State Government continues to take practical and decisive steps towards addressing the state’s waste management challenges and building a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Lagos.
The upgrading of the Solous II Dumpsite in Igando is a strategic intervention that will significantly strengthen our waste disposal capacity. With the facility now equipped to accommodate an average of 100 waste compactor trucks daily, we are easing the operational pressure on the Olusosun Dumpsite while improving waste evacuation across Lagos, particularly within the Lagos West axis.
Beyond expanding infrastructure, our focus is on ensuring that waste generated in our communities is evacuated promptly and disposed of appropriately. We expect our Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators to reciprocate this intervention with improved efficiency, reliability and service delivery. Residents who pay for waste collection deserve nothing less.
We are also strengthening institutional capacity through the ongoing reorganisation of LAWMA to ensure greater accountability and operational effectiveness.
A cleaner Lagos is a collective responsibility. Government will continue to provide the necessary infrastructure and oversight, while operators, residents and host communities must play their respective roles in sustaining these improvements.
Our commitment remains clear: to build a resilient waste management system that keeps Lagos clean, healthy and environmentally sustainable.
