I’ll Make Lagos Clean Again, Sanwo-Olu Assures Residents

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has assured the residents of Lagos State that he would soon clear the refuse build up across the state.

The Lagos helmsman took to his Facebook page and wrote:

“Dear Lagosians,

“I have directed an immediate scale-up of waste evacuation across Lagos following the recent build-up of refuse in some parts of our state.

“LAWMA, LASEPA, and the Ministry of Environment are currently working around the clock. We have deployed extra trucks and personnel to clear the backlogs across all affected neighbourhoods. You should already see progress on the streets and we will not stop until our city is completely clean again.

“Lagos generates over 13,000 tons of waste every single day. Managing this requires a massive effort but our determination to fix the current challenge is absolute.

“As we continue this cleanup, I ask for your partnership. Please bag your waste properly and avoid dumping refuse in drainage channels or on the roads.

“We are fully on top of this situation. Let us work together to keep Lagos clean and safe for everyone.”
